Additional Capacity Types
When you visit Lanes & Trucks you will see any additional capacity info Parade has collected about that carrier. Beyond what you capture over the phone, this can come from emails they've sent in, trucks that are out for delivery for you and searches they've done in your private portal.
In the image below, you can see examples of capacity that's due to a carrier dropping freight. Each of those trucks is an opportunity for a reload:
Keyboard shortcut summary
Working on the phone requires focus. To help, we let you use keyboard shortcuts instead of using the mouse when entering lane preferences and available trucks. Here's an overview of the shortcuts:
Arrow keys to move dates/times up/down
Press t ('today') in any date picker to set it to today's date
Press n ('now') in any time picker to set it to current time
Use tab to move across fields
Use the enter key to select values
Where's the save button?
There is no save button. We automatically save everything for you. If you make a mistake either edit or delete the lane preference/available truck. Editing is hidden behind the three dot menu next to each entry.
