Most common alongside 990
The 990 is a motor carrier's formal answer to a 204 load tender, indicating whether it will pick up the offered shipment: accepted, declined, or accepted with conditions. Shippers and brokers require it to confirm capacity electronically instead of by phone, keep routing guides moving, and track carrier tender-acceptance performance. Its B1 segment echoes the shipment identification number from the 204 along with the carrier's SCAC and response code so the reply can be matched to the tender. Sent by the motor carrier, generally in full-truckload workflows, to the shipper, broker, or 3PL that tendered the load on a 204.
When it fires: A shipper or broker tenders a truckload shipment to a carrier on a 204 and the carrier's dispatch decides to take or refuse the load.
Common 990 rejection causes
- A shipment identification number in the B1 segment that does not match the 204, so the shipper's TMS cannot link the response to the tender.
- Reservation action codes outside the partner's accepted set: the base X12 spec defines A (accepted) and D (cancelled), while partner guides add conditional and decline variants, and mismatched code lists cause rejects.
- Missing or incorrect SCAC in the B1 segment, preventing carrier identification.
- Responses sent after the shipper's tender expiration window, by which time the load has already been re-tendered to the next carrier in the routing guide.
