Most common alongside 204
This is the same X12 transaction set 204 under its earlier title: in older releases such as 003020 the set was named Motor Carrier Shipment Information and provided the motor carrier with bill of lading, rating, and scheduling data for a shipment. Later releases renamed it Motor Carrier Load Tender and scoped it to truckload tendering. Partners still mapped to legacy releases trade under the older name, and the document serves the same purpose of handing the carrier the shipment details it needs to move the load. The shipper or another party contracting for the transportation sends it to the motor carrier that will move the shipment.
When it fires: A shipper transmits bill of lading, rating, and scheduling details to a motor carrier for a load it is arranging, typically on a trading relationship still mapped to an older X12 release.
Common 204 rejection causes
- Release-version mismatches: partners on legacy releases (for example 003020, where the set is titled Motor Carrier Shipment Information) use different segment layouts than 004010-era Load Tender maps, so untested version upgrades break translation.
- Missing mandatory beginning segments: ST and B2 are mandatory, and an invalid Standard Carrier Alpha Code in B2 prevents the carrier from identifying itself as the intended recipient.
- Shipment-level weight, quantity, and volume totals that do not reconcile with the accumulated stop-off or commodity detail, which breaks rating and invoice audit downstream.
