Packaging
Take a look at the predetermined packaging types for FedEx and UPS:
You still have the option to choose a custom packaging type. If you choose a carrier-specific packaging type you will only see rates return for that carrier.
Rates Page
Your Rates Page will load the same as your LTL, options will auto-sort by price and offer tools such as Rate Breakdown.
Booking Page
After you Choose the service level, you're taken to the Booking Page. This should look pretty familiar, but if you choose a rate with FedEx, you have the additional options for FedEx ShipAlert® notifications.
It is important to note that while this shipment’s information will be sent to the carrier, a pickup will not be scheduled. Currently, 3rd party and recipient-billed parcel shipments in Freightview can Only be made when selecting the “Daily pickup” option on the quote screen
