TDM - Requirements
The requirements for using the functions are:
-
The current version of DAT-MAIL.
-
The use of the following Window Book/TDM-related URL ONLY: https://wb.truckdirectmail.com.
-
The TDM is designed for and works optimally with the following resources1· :
-
Computer type: Desktop / Laptop / Surface (not mobile devices).
-
Operating System: Windows (Win 8 or later).
-
Internet Browser: Google Chrome.
-
Apple Computers: Mac users should access the TDM v2.0 site using the Google Chrome browser on desktop/laptop running a currently supported release of the Apple OS. The native Safari browser is generally compatible with TDM but not fully supported; therefore, not recommended.
-
Mobile Devices: The TDM website is not available on mobile phones. However, the site will generally work on a tablet or Surface, provided the device has a sufficiently large screen size/resolution and supports the Google Chrome browser.
-
A Window Book/TDM-registered account.
-
Mail.dat files that contain pallets with NDC or SCF entry points. All entry points must have pallets.
Although Direct Logistics states in their documentation that an operating system of Win 8 or higher is a requirement for TDM v2, they have found that users running Windows 7 with the latest release of Chrome is a stable environment for the TDM v2 website.
Clients with existing Truck Direct Mail accounts should use their current accounts when logging into the wb.truckdirectmail URL from DM. A secondary Window Book/TDM account should not be created/used.
Make sure to whitelist the email addresses both Window Book and Direct Logistics uses to ensure the necessary email communication between DAT-MAIL, TDM, and the Client can occur.
