BlueGrace Logistics LTL Freight

Overview

This document outlines the process to connect your BlueGrace Logistics account to ShipperHQ to obtain live rates associated with your BlueGrace account.

Requirements

Before you begin, please ensure you have the following:

  • Your BlueGrace Client ID
  • Your BlueGrace Client Secret
  • LTL Freight Feature – Adding this carrier requires the LTL Freight Feature enabled either before or during the process described below. Click this link for more information about enabling the LTL Freight Feature.
You’ll need to contact your BlueGrace Account Sales Rep to request credentials if you do not already have them. Let your rep know that you’ll be using ShipperHQ to connect to the BlueGrace Rating API. Note that if you have multiple business units (e.g. for reporting or rating) you’ll need unique credentials for each one. You’d also need to set up multiple instances of BlueGrace in ShipperHQ, one per set of credentials if you wish ShipperHQ to use different credentials for different scenarios (e.g. multiple warehouses).

Adding BlueGrace Logistics

Now that you have your credentials ready, use the steps below to set up BlueGrace Logistics in ShipperHQ.

1. Log into your ShipperHQ account & navigate to the Advanced Features link on the left navigation menu. 

2. Click to enable the LTL Advanced Feature.

3.  Once LTL is enabled, navigate to the Carriers link on the left navigation menu.

4. Click + New to add a new carrier

5. Choose the Live Rate Carrier option

6. Use the Search Carriers option to search for BlueGrace Logistics or scroll down to find BlueGrace Logistics from the list of available carriers

Adding BlueGrace Logistics requires the LTL Freight advanced feature. You are prompted with the following steps if you do not have this feature enabled during installation:

  1. Click the toggle button to enable the LTL Freight feature

Note, you can select the Skip & Enter Later option, but the BlueGrace live rates are not enabled until these credentials are entered.
