How to use Labels

Labels will help you keep track of loads, drivers, trucks, and trailers so you can find what you need faster. This guide will show you how to set up labels and use reports to stay organized.

What Are Labels?

Labels are custom identifiers you can add to loads, drivers, trucks and trailers to organize, track and filter your operation.

Labels are separate from Tags. Tags represent your companies, MCs or terminals. Labels are flexible categories you define, for example a branch or a type of freight.

Label types:

  • Branch: group by location, team or business line (e.g., New York Yard, Brokerage, Night Shift Team).
  • Commodity: group by type of freight (e.g., Wood, Poles, Scrap). Commodity labels are also used with Saved Commodities.

Creating and Managing Labels

  1. Click the gear icon at the bottom left of the menu.
  2. Under Admin, click Labels.
  3. Click Create Label, enter a name, pick a type and click Submit.

To rename a label or make it inactive, click the pencil icon next to it. Use the Type and Status filters to find labels quickly.
