Custom Locations are typically terminals are grouped around the terminal city where they are located. But you can create your own terminal group any way you want through Custom Locations. You can use Custom Locations to group terminals with which you routinely do business or group terminals located in an area where you routinely deliver product. These custom location groups will be listed as a Location option for Price Analysis and Best Rack.
You can use Custom Locations to:
-
Group multiple terminal locations into a single custom location
-
Group terminals with which you routinely do business then find the best price through Price Analysis
-
Group terminals located in an area where you routinely deliver product then compare the cost of freight through Best Rack
