Location Masking

Control which city, state, and ZIP code are sent to load boards when posting a load, without changing the actual shipment origin or destination.

Why Use Location Masking?

When posting loads to public load boards, brokers often want to:

  • Avoid exposing exact shipper locations

  • Prevent carriers from bypassing broker relationships

  • Standardize posting locations for better market coverage

Where Location Masking Is Available

Location Masking is available in Truckload Quoting.

On the Shipment Info panel:

  • A plus (+) icon appears next to Origin and Destination

  • Clicking the icon opens the Mask Locations modal

In the modal, you can enter masked values for:

  • City

  • State

  • ZIP

You may mask:

  • Origin only

  • Destination only

  • Both origin and destination


Once saved:

  • The masked location is used only for load board postings

  • The actual shipment location remains unchanged in the system

Visual Indicator for Masked Locations

After masking is applied:

  • A mask indicator appears next to the Origin or Destination

  • This lets you quickly see that masked location data is being used
