• If you select Route/Load, you will be prompted to enter the route and load. A lookup is provided that allows you to select unconfirmed or confirmed loads,
• If you select Order Number, you will be prompted for Owner and Order.
  • The Owner will default, but you can change this to another owner if you want to - an LOV is provided.
  • The Order provides an LOV to help you find the order you are after.
• If you select Carrier, you will be prompted to enter the carrier code. An LOV is provided.

Enter the carrier, route/load or order number you wish to despatch and press the Execute Query button. The screen will display matching records in the table below, as in the screenshot above, where this was selected by Route/Load.
