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.

Therefore, ‘Bill recipient / 3rd Party’ Parcel shipments in Freightview can Only be made when selecting the “Daily pickup” option on the quote screen.
