How to Schedule an LTL in BluJay
All ASR sites are aware that LTLs can't be held to a firm appointment time. However, we required the scheduler to be used so that our warehouses are aware the LTL is coming.

  1. Search for your order number as normal and follow the "How to Appoint a Single-Order Load" steps.

  2. When selecting the time, pick a late afternoon appointment and put "LTL" in the comments along with the carrier's name or SCAC code and estimated window for pickup (ex. LTL ACME Transport 14:00-18:00). 

  3. Submit your appointment request.
