Overview

LTL Pricing Workbench

The LTL Pricing Workbench is available as part of the RFP functionality. The LTL Pricing Workbench includes a configuration setting and two main components:

  • From the TMS Admin â†’ Configuration: Pricing Workbench Batch Size setting. The default value is 50. If API rate quotes are used, 50 should be the greatest value. If locally Stored Rates are used, 200 should be the greatest value.

  1. Load Upload: Use the predefined load template .CSV file to create the loads for the RFP and upload them into the TMS.

  2. Pricing Workbench: Generate a .CSV file based on filtering of the Carrier Quotes for the loads uploaded as shown on Load Upload.
