How do I connect my carriers?

You can add your parcel carrier similarly to your LTL Carriers. Select UPS or FedEx, and click the green checkmark to indicate Parcel.

Quoting

Once your carrier is connected, click the Quote icon to get started, and select the Parcel mode.  

  • If you choose Daily pickup a dispatch will NOT be sent to the carrier.
  • Choosing to Schedule a pickup will initiate a dispatch request.
  • Select Signature options and Billing under Destination.

Preferences

You will also have access to your Product Catalog and Preferences, which we will keep separately under LTL or Parcel. 

Once your quote form is filled out, click Show my rates

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
