A better LTL tender
Shared capacity works better when every detail travels with the freight.
LTL freight may share trailer space and terminal networks, but the shipment still needs an operating plan of its own. ShipCarte connects the physical freight, carrier service and facility requirements before tender—then keeps ownership visible through delivery.
Freight profile
Build the shipment the carrier will actually handle.
A useful LTL decision begins with the commodity, handling-unit count, outside dimensions, actual weight and packaging method—not a rough estimate of the load.
Accurate details help establish density and applicable classification, surface special handling needs and create a clearer basis for comparing carrier services. They also reduce avoidable reclassification and accessorial surprises after pickup.

StatusFacility fit
Plan the stop, not only the lane.
The same pallet can require a different service when dock access, appointment rules or unloading equipment changes. Origin and destination conditions belong in the decision before a carrier is selected.
Dock access
Confirm whether each facility can receive standard dock service.
Appointments
Carry required windows and booking instructions into the tender.
Delivery services
Identify liftgate, inside or limited-access needs in advance.
Site contacts
Keep the people and receiving instructions close to the load.
Network handoffs
Keep the freight visible through every terminal.
Shared-network efficiency can create more handling events than a dedicated movement. Status, exceptions and delivery requirements should stay connected to the original shipment plan.
Carrier acceptance
Confirm the handling units entered the selected network as tendered.
