How to Create a Carrier Account with Velocity Taxi Trucks
When looking to set up a new account with Velocity Taxi Trucks you will need to set the specific options below:
Account Code - The account code would have been provided to you when your account was set up.
Reference Pools - Reference pools are utilised by MachShip in order to maintain a count on the connote, manifest and item numbers. The reference pool will ensure that each of those numbers is unique to what we have sent to the carrier previously. More information can be obtained on reference pools here. Velocity Taxi Trucks require the creation of 2 reference pools for the Manifest number and Consignment number.
To create the reference pool select the Create Carrier Reference Pool button at the bottom of the page.

Test:
Once the account has been set up and all of the rates have been added, you will need to run a test to ensure that upon go-live, everything will run successfully.

If you receive a successful manifest message from MachShip then please send an email to the Velocity Taxi Trucks Team and advise them that you are starting to despatch your Velocity Taxi Trucks account through MachShip and that you would like to receive verification on the test file and permission to start to trade.
Please include the job number and request that they should cancel this to ensure that you are not charged. Please cc integrations@machship.com on this email so we can help if required.
On confirmation from the support team that the setup is validated, you are free to begin to consign.
