Quick Tips
Tip #1
Need to find a specific shipment or customer? Filters are available in the top right corner of the page to allow users to filter by customers (partners) or by load numbers.
Tip #2
The MAC’s ‘Load Waiting Assignment’ page defaults to shipments scheduled to start tracking yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If you want to find shipments outside of the default three day window, select ‘More Filters’ and select your dates. Note: The dates are based on the customer determined Track Start Date, not Pickup date.
