This plugin applies specific rules to an order to decide whether it’s best to ship it as LTL, FTL, or a small parcel. The flow of the orders will differ depending on whether they are a Small Parcel vs an LTL order. This validation is based on specific rules, which can be modified easily within this plugin.

The Shipment Type is visible in the Shipment Type column in the TMS Order Query data grid.
