What is the Load ID?

• A. A unique identifier automatically assigned to every new load when created
• B. A status indicator for the load
• C. The branch code
• D. The cost center

Answer: (A)

The Load ID is the unique reference the system creates for each new load, automatically assigned when the load is created. This ensures every load has a distinct identifier that you can use to track, reference, and locate the load across all steps—from creation through carrier assignment, status updates, documents, and billing. Because it’s system-generated, it prevents duplicates and stays tied to that specific load throughout its lifecycle, even as other details change.

It’s not a status indicator (that would reflect Open, In Transit, Delivered, etc.), not the branch code (which identifies a location or office), and not the cost center (an accounting element).
