Start-up Guide for Transport Commander

Steps

  1. Register (button at the bottom of the screen).
  2. Add Contacts (enter the carriers and subcontractors you monitor).

How to start (long version)

  • Go to !TransportCommander.com ( what is it? ).
  • If you already use CargoOffice you can use the same login, you don't need to register.
  • Otherwise you need to register; use the Register link at the bottom of the page
  • Login by typing your email address and your password:

  • If you experience any problems, then please use the Contact link at the bottom of the page and ask us for help.

Add carriers, subcontractors and other contacts

The next step is to connect to your transporters, carriers and subcontractors:

  • Click the Menu button (upper right corner) and choose Contacts:

Find contact

The form below appears, allowing you to add contacts and companies:

  • Type the email address, name or company name of your contact:

  tc_find_contact.png

Contact is unknown

You could see a message like: Email address not found.
If so, and the email address you typed is correct, click: Click HERE to add it anyway.

Note: The FreeCargo network has more than 1.5 million users and over 17.000 companies. However, there are millions more people involved in logistics and thousands of companies.

Known Contact

If your contact or his company is known, you will see his name appear in the search results.

  • Use the Add to Group button to add people to your contacts:

Active Shipments

After adding contacts you are able to track shipments you assigned to them or their companies.

Below is an example page.
The companies and their logo's are at the top of the page, followed by the shipments you assigned to them as well as the current status of those shipments.

Credentials

You can click on a logo to switch to the web page of that company, which is probably the place where you can enter new orders and track your shipments.  

You almost certainly need a login to be able to see your shipments at these companies.  
So, i f you want your shipments to show up below the logos, you need a login and a password at that company.
Ask your contact for a login if you haven't got one.

  • Go back to the Contacts page, click on the small menu barclickbars.gif (three bars) next to your contact and choose Info+login, example:

The details of that partner appear on screen.

  • Enter the login and password you received from that partner:

  tc_company_details.png
If your credentials are correct for each partner (login and password) then the system is able to show you the shipments.
