Getting Started

The Multi-Carrier Trailer Manifesting function is an option located under DAT-MAIL's Logistics menu. The Multi-Carrier Trailer Manifesting (MCTM) option is available to all Toolbox users and Editor users with the necessary registration key.

DAT-MAIL Editor users can view their pallet list, including access to limited MCTM functionality, without a product registration key that includes MCTM. More information is provided in File > View Pallets - Editor Version.

The functions or options available via the MCTM menu are dependent on the carrier being used. DAT-MAIL currently supports carrier-specific APIs that allow the MCTM module to communicate directly with those carriers. Currently, those carriers are LSC Logistics (LSC), ALG Worldwide Logistics (ALG), and King Logistics (King). If your carrier is not one of the three listed, the generic navigator-style menu will display when the MCTM option is selected.

If LSC, ALG, or King Logistics is being used. In that case, an additional setup is required in DAT-MAIL for those carrier-related functions to be accessible via the MCTM menu. If LSC is the carrier of choice, users have two options: LSC DropShip/Copal (referred to as DIME); and LSC OnePrice.

DAT-MAIL’s MCTM module includes options for the multi-job DIME feature and the DIME Legacy (single job) function. However, Clients should note that the DIME Legacy (single job) function will be removed from DAT-MAIL (date to be determined).

The menu options displayed in the non-generic MCTM menu (images below) rely on completing the setup parameters found in DAT-MAIL.

Professional Services will assist you with this setup of MCTM. This setup is necessary to see the applicable MCTM menu.

If the setup has been completed, continue to Component Description.
