How do I add-a-stop?

Overview 

Add-a-stop functionality greatly improves the visibility around shipments that encounter one of the following milestones during their shipment lifecycle: a stop at a pre-pull yard, a barge terminal, an intermodal terminal, a rail terminal, a customs exam site, or a border-crossing stop. Once a stop is recorded, this data will be sent to Flexport operations teams and clients. This will ultimately help reduce the number of messages regarding shipment update requests.

How to add a stop

1. Open the Flex via the active loads' page. The option to add/edit a stop will be visible on the side panel:

Note: If a stop is deleted, the data will be wiped as well.
