The Shippers/Receivers tab is where we organize the lists of your Shippers (SHIP, PICK location, origin point, etc.) and your Receivers (REC, DROP location, destination point, etc.)
SHIPPERS
The upper half of the screen is where you enter the places your loads pickup at.
- You are not required to store this info, but it is always handy to have a list of places for potential freight in future.
- If you do not wish to store info, then on the Dispatch screen you can use your mouse to click on the "city, st' fields in the STOP grid and just enter the data manually (not recommended).
You can add, delete, sort/group shippers here.
- Add New Facility button: Click here to create a new Shipper record.
- Delete button: Click here to delete the currently selected Shipper record.
To export the entire list to an Excel spreadsheet, right-click a record, then select "Export To..." followed by "Excel".
You can also copy Shipper records to the Receiver list.
