Motor Carrier Load Tender Transaction

Based on the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 format, the 204 can be used to allow shippers and other interested parties to offer (tender) a shipment to a full load (truckload) motor carrier that includes detailed scheduling, equipment requirements, commodities, and shipping instructions pertinent to a load tender. It is not to be used to provide a motor carrier with data relative to a Less-than-Truckload Bill of Lading, pick-up notification, or manifest.
