Introduction
This guide outlines the step-by-step process for adding a carrier to the Omnitracs Virtual Load View network. Following these instructions will help ensure seamless integration for load tracking requests.
Process Description
Adding a carrier involves verifying existing onboarding tickets, confirming carrier registration, checking and updating Electronic Logging Device (ELD) connection credentials, and completing the necessary integration steps to enable load tracking.
