Create a load from a rate confirmation in CarrierOS AI: quick answer
Upload or forward the rate confirmation, let CarrierOS AI prepare a draft, review every extracted field, correct anything missing, and create the load after human review.
Before you start
- Have the rate confirmation file ready.
- Know the broker, lane, rate, pickup, delivery, and equipment details you expect.
- Do not dispatch from AI output until a person reviews it.
Step-by-step instructions
- From Operations > Loads, click Create Load from Rate Confirmation.
- Upload the rate confirmation or use the connected email workflow.
- Wait for CarrierOS AI to read the document.
- Review broker, route, rate, dates, equipment, and references.
- Correct missing or wrong fields.
- Create the load and keep the original document attached.
Review checklist
Use this checklist before you save, send, approve, or rely on the record.
- Broker: The company that sent the rate confirmation.
- Stops: Pickup and delivery locations, dates, and appointment times.
- Rate: The amount used for invoice and report records.
- Equipment: Truck or trailer requirements.
- References: Broker load number, PO, or other billing references.
What happens next

Common problems and fixes
