Freight publication

Freight pub­li­ca­tions are used to inform poten­tial con­trac­tors that you have car­go (one or more ship­ments) avail­able for trans­port. Short def­i­n­i­tions of terms:
Freight – a trans­port job / car­go offer that includes ship­ment details such as route, dates, require­ments, and price.
Pub­li­ca­tion – the act of pub­lish­ing a freight offer, i.e. mak­ing it vis­i­ble on the plat­form or send­ing it to select­ed car­ri­ers for accep­tance or rejec­tion.

You can send the pub­li­ca­tion

• direct­ly to per­sons — users on Trans.eu Plat­form,
• to select­ed com­pa­nies,
• using matched automa­tion rules pre­vi­ous­ly cre­at­ed at Plat­form
• to pri­vate freight exchange
• to Trans.eu Freight Exchange.

With a pub­li­ca­tion API requests (POST method), you can cre­ate a freight and pub­lish it at the same time. It is also pos­si­ble to cre­ate a freight with­out pub­lish­ing it using the same method. A freight only cre­at­ed can­not be pub­lished by API method, it can be pub­lished from the Trans.eu Plat­form. It is also pos­si­ble to pub­lish a pre­vi­ous­ly cre­at­ed freight using the PUT method, but it is nec­es­sary to enter all the freight para­me­ters again.
If a freight was not pub­lished, it is not vis­i­ble to oth­er Trans.eu users, even users from your own com­pa­ny.

For a freight to be suc­cess­ful­ly pub­lished it has to meet sev­er­al cri­te­ria:

• the pub­lish para­me­ter must be set to true
• if a freight is being pub­lished to select­ed com­pa­nies or direct per­sons, at least one of com­pa­ny or per­sons id’s must be valid
• if freight is being pub­lished using automa­tion rules, at least one automa­tion rule cre­at­ed and active at Plat­form must be matched with freight pub­li­ca­tion details
• all dates must be greater or equal today

The rules for cre­at­ing freight are described in Freight cre­ation.
