Before a freight order can be completed, it needs to be tied to a load. For most freight orders, you'll create that load yourself. For orders shipping to Target or Walmart, RetailReady can generate the load automatically using a CSV upload. This article walks through both scenarios so you know how to get a load in place before completing an order.
