Steps
Authenticate with project44 via OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow to obtain a Bearer token.
POST a visibility subscription to the project44 LTL tracking endpoint: provide the carrier SCAC, PRO number, shipper reference number, origin, destination, and scheduled pickup date.
project44 connects to the carrier's tracking feed (via direct carrier API, EDI, or telematics); the initial response returns the shipment identifier and a current status reflecting what project44 has retrieved at subscription time.
Register a webhook callback URL with project44 to receive push events for status transitions (picked up, in-transit, out for delivery, delivered) and ETA updates; store event timestamps and source confidence levels.
On delivery event receipt, compute actual transit time versus the original estimated transit days; feed this data back into your carrier performance scorecard and SLA compliance reporting.
Known gotchas
LTL carrier tracking coverage in project44 varies by carrier; some regional LTL carriers have limited real-time data and project44 may only receive EDI 214 status updates rather than continuous telematics, resulting in infrequent status updates.
PRO number formats differ by carrier (numeric, alphanumeric, with or without prefix); submit the PRO number exactly as provided by the carrier without reformatting — project44 uses the carrier SCAC to determine the expected format.
ETA predictions for LTL are less precise than for TL because LTL freight moves through carrier terminals and can be delayed for consolidation; treat LTL ETAs as delivery-day estimates rather than hour-level predictions.
