What is a freight lane request and when should shippers use one?

A freight lane is a recurring transportation route between a shipment’s origin and destination. A freight lane request allows shippers to provide details about those recurring routes, expected shipment volume, equipment needs, scheduling requirements, and other transportation considerations.

Shippers should use a lane request when they need ongoing or recurring transportation support, dedicated freight capacity, contract transportation, or planning for regular freight movement between specific locations. This information helps logistics professionals better understand shipping patterns and develop transportation solutions around those recurring needs.
