Carriers can perform several actions via the portal. Which of the following is NOT a capability described for carriers in AscendPortal?

• A. receive tendered loads
• B. view/sign confirmation documents
• C. assign drivers (auto-updates AscendTMS)
• D. export payroll reports

Answer: (D)

AscendPortal for carriers focuses on the shipment workflow, handling loads, documents, and driver management. Carriers can review and accept tendered loads, which keeps new shipments moving in the system. They can view and sign confirmation documents, ensuring the necessary paperwork is completed in one place. They can assign drivers, with those updates automatically syncing back to AscendTMS to keep dispatch in sync. Exporting payroll reports isn’t described as a carrier capability in this portal; payroll and financial reporting are typically handled by back-office processes and aren’t part of the carrier’s operational tasks within the portal.
