Overview
In LoadOps Contracts between users (Carriers) and shippers/brokers/carriers can be managed using the Contracts module. A contract acts as the rate guide that will be referenced when a load is created for the 3rd party. Contracts for carriers will contain a lane structure definition, fuel charge definition, and additional charges.
