Use Advanced Search to Find Loads

Use Advanced Search when the regular My Loads or All Loads search returns too many results, or when you need to search one specific load field. After you search, Load Manager returns you to the load list with the matching loads.

Open Advanced Search

  1. Go to All Loads.
  2. Select Advanced Search from the load submenu.

Advanced Search option in the All Loads submenu

Fill In the Search

Leave a field blank if it should not limit the results.

Date - This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last Month: quick date links. - Pickup Date, Delivery Date, Order Date, Invoice Date: search by that date. Use the format shown by the date picker, usually mm/dd/yyyy.

Load details - Load Status, Dispatcher, Sales Rep, Internal Ref# - Load#: you can enter several load numbers separated by commas. Use only numbers and commas. Do not add spaces, letters, or other punctuation.

Customer and reference numbers - Customer Name - Customer PO# and Customer BOL #: you can enter several numbers separated by commas. Use these when a regular search returns too many matches for the same number.

Location, equipment, carrier, or driver - Pickup City, Delivery City, Pick State, Del State, Equipment - Carrier Name: Freight Broker and Dispatch Service accounts use carrier records. Carrier and Trucking accounts should use the Driver tab to search or manage driver profiles directly. - Select values in the last Pick State / Del State / Equipment row to add another row.

Recent days - Check Filter Loads for the last, then enter the number of days. Load Manager remembers this filter in your browser, so check it if results look too narrow later.

Run the Search

  1. Enter your criteria.
  2. Select Search.
  3. Click a load row to open the full Load Screen.

Troubleshooting

  • No loads appear: Clear some filters and turn off the recent-days filter.
  • Too many loads appear: Add a more specific field such as Load #, Customer PO#, Customer BOL #, status, date, customer, or carrier.
  • A status is missing: Ask an administrator to review load status setup and user access.
  • You cannot open a load from the results: Your user permissions or the load status may restrict access or editing.
