Parade now offers partial support for Linear Feet (LF) when parsing equipment details and posting loads to DAT. This makes postings more precise, but requires a specific format in the equipment string.
What’s New?
Linear Feet Support: Equipment strings that include LF in the correct format are now recognized and posted to DAT.
Partial Coverage: Adding “Linear Feet” alone does not imply a Partial or LTL load—those must still be sent as separate flags.
TMS Compatibility:
Fully supported: 3PL Systems
Partially supported: TAI, which currently uses a different format (Parade has requested a move to the new format).
More TMSs may be added on demand.
Why This Matters
Clearer load details on DAT help ensure carriers know exactly what’s required before quoting, reducing miscommunication and improving match quality.
