If you assign your own fleet (green button), AscendTMS generates which document instead of a Carrier Confirmation?

• A. Driver Confirmation Document
• B. Blind Carrier Confirmation
• C. Customer Confirmation
• D. Third-Party BOL

Answer: (A)

When you assign your own fleet, AscendTMS shifts the focus of the confirmation to the driver who will actually operate the load. In this setup, the system generates a Driver Confirmation Document that communicates all driver-facing details—pickup location and time, contact, equipment, instructions, and any specific notes the driver needs to move the load. This keeps the driver in the loop with exactly what they need to know, reflecting that you are the carrier responsible for the move.

This differs from a Carrier Confirmation, which is a more general form used when working with external carriers. The driver-specific needs and internal carrier details aren’t the same as what a driver needs to successfully complete a pickup, so the Driver Confirmation Document replaces the Carrier Confirmation in the owned-fleet scenario.

Briefly, the other options don’t fit because a Blind Carrier Confirmation hides carrier identity and isn’t driver-focused, a Customer Confirmation is tailored for customer-facing confirmations rather than driver guidance, and a Third-Party BOL is a bill of lading used with third-party carriers, not your own fleet.
