What term describes a load that has been booked by the carrier through a brokerage, rate confirmation signed and submitted, but later canceled through no fault of the carrier?

• A. TONU
• B. Book a Load
• C. Load Availability
• D. Under a Load

Answer: (A)

The main concept being tested is compensation when a booked load is canceled after dispatch. This situation is described by TONU, short for Truck Ordered Not Used. When a carrier has already been lined up, a driver assigned, and possibly a rate confirmation signed, but the load is canceled through no fault of the carrier, TONU is intended to cover the carrier’s incurred costs—time, fuel, detour miles, and the opportunity cost of not using that equipment elsewhere. The other terms don’t describe this scenario: booking a load is the act of securing it, load availability refers to whether a load can be booked, and under a load isn’t a term used to describe cancellation. So TONU is the best fit for this situation.
