Table of contents

The Load Tender Response is an electronic transaction used by a motor carrier to respond to a shipment offer (load tender) sent by a shipper, broker, or third-party logistics provider (3PL). This message communicates whether the carrier accepts or declines the shipment and confirms transportation capacity.

This response is typically sent after receiving an EDI 204 Motor Carrier Load Tender, which contains shipment and routing details. The load tender response references the original tender and provides a status such as accepted, declined, or accepted with conditions, enabling both parties to align on shipment execution.

By standardizing carrier responses, the load tender response supports automated transportation planning within Transportation Management Systems (TMS). It allows shippers to quickly confirm capacity or reassign loads when needed, while helping carriers manage commitments and communicate decisions efficiently.

Using the load tender response improves visibility, reduces manual follow-up, and streamlines coordination between trading partners, ensuring faster and more reliable transportation execution across supply chain operations.

Load Tender Response (X12)

The Load Tender Response communicates a carrier’s acceptance or rejection of a shipment, enabling the shipper’s Transportation Management System (TMS) to confirm capacity or re-tender if needed.

Contact your TraceLink Services representative for more information about integrating with this message.
