X12 204 Motor Carrier Load Tender

X12 Release 4010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Motor Carrier Load Tender Transaction Set (204) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used to allow shippers or other interested parties to offer (tender) a shipment to a full load (truckload) motor carrier including detailed scheduling, equipment requirements, commodities, and shipping instructions pertinent to a load tender. It is not to be used to provide a motor carrier with data relative to a Less-than-Truckload bill of lading, pick-up notification, or manifest.

    Usage notes

    Because General Mills allows shipping to/from non-standard addresses, the code provided in the N104
    may or may not relate the actual ship to/from address. GMI partners are expected to pull true address
    information from the N2-N4 segments and NOT work off of the N104 code to pull address information
    from an internal table.
