Manifest LTL Loads in TransportOne (Less-Truck-Load)
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipping is used when the freight does not require a full truck. This guide walks you through the step-by-step process of creating an LTL manifest in TransportOne.
After you indent and create a load, you manifest it to hand it over to the transporter. During this process, you update key information such as invoices, pickup type, and point-of-contact details. Once you submit the manifest, the system assigns the load to the selected transporter for pickup.
Creating an LTL Manifest
Step 1: Select or Create a Load
1. After indenting a load, navigate to the Load screen.
2. Either create a new load or select an existing load you wish to manifest.
3. You can also create a load directly from the Indent screen if you have the required permissions.
Step 2: Click Manifest
- On the selected load, click the Manifest button.
Step 3: Choose the Pickup Type
You’ll be prompted to select one of the following pickup types:
- Direct Pickup
The pickup is coordinated manually (e.g., via phone or message).
- Online Pickup
The pickup is managed through the TMS system.
Important: Ensure the following are completed before initiating an online pickup:
- Invoices: If not available, go back and upload them.
- POC (Point of Contact) Details: Missing details (e.g., for locations like Delhi 110045 or Goa 403601) must be updated.
Step 4: Upload Invoices & Update POC Details
- Return to the Indent or Load screen. (depending on the permission you have to access modules).
- Upload missing invoices and update POC details as needed.
- Once updated, return to the Manifest screen.
Step 5: View Transporter Recommendations
- Scroll down to see transporter recommendations.
- Click the refresh icon to view updated suggestions in the dropdown.
Step 6: Submit the Manifest
- Click Submit to complete the manifest process.
What Happens Next?
Once manifested, the load:
- Moves to the Allocated tab in the Load app, and is assigned to the selected transporter, and
- Shows Requested status in the Indent app, indicating the load has been sent to the transporter for pickup.
The transporter will then accept or reject the request.
