To run a quote for shipment rates and transit times, select LTL & VLTL Quote and Dispatch under Services from the menu in the left corner of the Carrier Portal. Make sure the toggles in the upper right corner of the LTL & VLTL Quote and Dispatch page are shifted to either “LTL” or “VLTL” (depending on which one is appropriate for your shipment) and “Quick Rate.” Enter all required information.  

Once the rates are returned, you can dispatch your shipment with your preferred capacity provider.  

For VLTL shipments, you will enter the shipment’s total linear feet under Shipment Details in addition to the shipment information (Quantity, Freight Class, Length, Width, Height, etc.) required for LTL shipment rating.  

You can also utilize the Volume Visualizer Tool to automatically calculate the total linear feet of your shipment. However, we do recommend manually adding total linear feet whenever possible. If you choose to utilize the Volume Visualizer Tool, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
