We will try and save some time by NOT explaining every single field.
customer, trk #, trl #, drv etc all should be self explanatory.
we have noted the less obvious items, tagged with a number and explained below.
1) LTL -> check this to make a load-> a partial for LTL system(optional).
a) Hazmat-> check this to tag load as containing HAZMAT contents
2) EMAIL DRIVER-> quick way to send email to driver(best to have email address on your drivers to use this) make sure email is setup.
3) TEMPLATE-> you can save ANY load to TEMPLATES, then make LOADS from templates, utilities->copy to make several and never really touch keyboard
4) DOCUMENTS->you can Attach/Scan documents to any load here. also use this tab to access the docs attached to the load here (optional)
