When freight needs to move through multiple carriers to reach its destination, that's called a Journey. In MachShip, you set this up by adding a depot between the pickup and delivery locations.
For users to access this feature, make sure the permission set is enabled for the user role. For Depots this permission is called Company Depots and sits within the Companypermission set.
