Which term refers to the form that indicates compensation, routing preferences, and weight capacity for a carrier?

• A. Dispatch Agreement
• B. Transport
• C. Load Search/Carrier Profile
• D. Dispatcher

Answer: (C)

The concept here is how a dispatcher quickly and accurately match loads to the right carrier by capturing what the carrier will accept and can handle. The form that records compensation (the rate the carrier charges or will accept), routing preferences (preferred lanes, restrictions, and service levels), and weight capacity (equipment type and maximum load) is the Load Search/Carrier Profile. This profile is used to search for and select carriers on a load board or within a TMS, ensuring the right carrier is chosen for each shipment. A dispatch agreement is a contract with terms and payment specifics, not a live matching profile. A transport refers to the actual movement of goods, not the carrier’s preferences. A dispatcher is the person coordinating the shipments.
