Introduction

This guide explains the process of opting carriers into TruckX API data sharing and how to set up a TruckX ELD connection using their DOT number. It is intended for internal use by the project44 team to ensure efficient onboarding and issue resolution for carriers participating in this initiative.

Process Description

By opting a carrier into TruckX API data sharing, project44 can enhance real-time supply chain visibility through integration with TruckX electronic logging devices (ELDs). This process involves linking the carrier’s DOT number to their NMC account and verifying that any outstanding issues relating to support, onboarding, or quality are addressed promptly.

Prerequisites

- Access to the carrier’s DOT number - Carrier’s consent to participate in TruckX API data sharing - Access to carrier NMC accounts and ticketing system to check open tickets

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to complete the opt-in and setup:

1. Confirm that the carrier has opted in to TruckX API data sharing.
2. Locate the carrier’s DOT number for identification purposes.
3. Add a TruckX ELD connection to the carrier’s NMC account using the DOT number.
4. Check for any open support tickets, onboarding issues, or quality tickets linked to the carrier.
5. Address and resolve any open tickets as appropriate to ensure the carrier’s data sharing is not affected.

Tips and Best Practices

- Maintain clear communication with carriers during the opt-in process to confirm consent and provide support. - Monitor ticket queues regularly to promptly resolve any emerging issues that could impact data sharing. - Document the setup process thoroughly in the NMC system for accountability and traceability.

Next Steps
