Quick Guide to Creating a Lane |

Introduction
This document provides a quick guide explaining how to create a Lane in the One Network System. A Lane defines a Ship From and Ship To location. A Ship From or Ship To location can be one of the following: a Country, a State, a City, or a Postal Code Range. The locations defined on a Lane can be as general as you want such as a Lane that goes from the US (i.e Country = US) to the US or it can be more specific such as a Lane that goes from a Ship From Postal Code to a Ship To Postal Code. Once you create a Lane, you can use this Lane in other functions in the system such as when you create a Route or a Contract Base Rate.
