Carrier Portal Training
Introduction
Logistics Gateway (“LG”) is Manhattan’s carrier portal that allows carriers to respond to shipments tendered to them.
This document outlines the steps required by a carrier company to configure LG for daily use. This document also covers
how to process tenders and web offers (shipments offered out to many carriers), and Wegmans Food Markets, Inc.
(Wegmans) specific business and system processes. This application can only be used on the following web browsers:
IE 9 and 10, Google Chrome, and Firefox. (We strongly recommend Chrome.)
Definitions
Web Tender - A web tender is a shipment that is sent to only one carrier along with a set freight rate. Once the shipper
(Wegmans) has sent a tender, the carrier has 4 hours to respond to that tender. If the carrier accepts the shipment, it is
considered an official agreement between the shipper (Wegmans) and the carrier. The carrier will then handle the
shipment from this point on. If the carrier declines the shipment, the shipper (Wegmans) will be forced to find an alternate
carrier.
Web Offer – A web offer is when a shipper (Wegmans) invites a group of carriers to look at a particular shipment and
offer a rate to move that shipment. Typically, a web offer is available for 30 minutes, and carriers are given that duration
to accept, decline, or ignore the offer.

Reviewing and Responding to Web Offers
The Web Offers screen lists all of the web offers (or requests for quotes) available for a specific move. Additionally, the
Offer Status, Carrier Reply, and Time Remaining on the offer is listed. It is the carrier’s responsibility to review offers and
respond to them in a timely manner. An offer is not a guarantee of work. It is a request for a rate on a specific move.
Wegmans will review all responses and will choose a carrier based on performance and price.
To respond to a Web Offer…
1. Click on Web Offers from menu (or click Web Offers tile on the home screen if pinned)
2. Filter list by selecting criteria from column headers (Shipper/Shipment ID, Offer Status / Carrier Reply, Time
Remaining, Customer Origin, and / or Customer Destination)
3. Click Apply
4. Check box of web offer in which to respond
5. Type any Comments to Shipper if applicable
6. Click Accept (or Decline if not interested)
7. Select Spot Rate (as a Linehaul cost) and enter cost in Spot Rate field
8. Click Accept (web offer screen returns with Carrier Reply listed as “Accept”)

Reviewing and Responding to Web Tenders
A web tender is an expectation that you will execute on the load. (If Wegmans accepts a carrier’s rate on a web offer,

the shipment

Entering Tracking Messages
WARNING: Wegmans will no longer complete shipments.


“Departure” message from first stop (changes shipment status to In-Transit).

“Departure” message from last stop (changes shipment status to Delivered).

longitude on all Check Call
a location description in the Location field and then enter City, State, and
messages on the EDI 214.
Zip Code in corresponding fields. Further define location by adding additional
information in the Comments field.

Automated Invoicing
Wegmans utilizes automated invoicing. Therefore, once a carrier enters the “Departure” tracking message from the last
stop (causing the shipment status to change to Delivered), a systematic five calendar day waiting period from the delivery
end date begins where both the carrier and Wegmans can perform a final review of the Shipment Details. If issues or
discrepancies are discovered, all updates must be made within this five calendar day waiting period. (NOTE: The five
calendar days starts from the delivery end date in the system, not the date that the “Departure” tracking message from the
last stop was entered.)
NOTE: Carriers should not create or send
