You can set up a route guide parameter to exclude a carrier fromreceiving loads for a specific shipping lane.
For example:
- Carrier ABCD often delivers loads from your Minnesota plants toyour Pennsylvania distribution centers.
- Carrier ABCD does not deliver to your distribution center in Philadelphia(which has the location code PHIL-DC).
The following workflow shows how to exclude Carrier ABCD from receivingshipments for the Minnesota to PHIL-DC shipping lane:
- Set up a rating lane in your contract with Carrier ABCD:
- Origin: MN.USA
- Destination: PA.USA
- Set up two route guide parameters for Carrier ABCD. To definethese parameters click Add on the CarrierRank and Type tab of the Route Guide Parameters page.
| Origin | Destination | Carrier type |
|---|---|---|
| MN.USA | PA.USA | Primary |
| MN.USA | PHIL-DC | Exclude |
- Based on your contract lane and the route guide parameters CarrierABCD is eligible to deliver shipments from any origin in Minnesotato any destination in Pennsylvania except the PHIL-DC location.
- When you tender a shipment that has an origin of Minnesota anda destination of PHIL-DC Sterling TMS excludes CarrierABCD from the carrier selection plan for the shipment.
- You can use Route Guide Inquiry to find carriers that are excludedfrom delivering shipments in a certain lane. In this example specifythe following Route Guide Inquiry settings:
