Carriers
The Carriers Module allows you to manage all external carrier partners used for brokered freight, asset-light operations, or contract routing. It stores compliance details, contact information, capacity, and internal tags like “Preferred” or “Seasonal” to support carrier selection logic and performance tracking.
