We are excited to announce the release of our new electronic bill of lading API for beta testing. The addition of the eBOL goes along with our recently updated APIs for Rate Quote, Pickup Request and Tracking.
Our new v3.1 API connection provides increased security, bug fixes and other enhancements. The new v3.1 version will replace our previous v3.0 classic API which will be retired in Q4 of 2026. Please plan accordingly to transition prior to the retirement of v3.0. Below is an overview of our new versions and a link to our website for the implementation guides.
