Usage breakdown

Who trades X12 990 Response To A Load Tender

990 is used most heavily in logistics & transport, grocery & food and retail.

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. 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.
