To do this, create a consignment - please make Reference 1 and Reference 2 and the special instructions for the pickup and for the delivery to THIS IS A TEST. Once this has been created it will automatically manifest the consignment to the carrier. If you experience any issues please contact support@machship.com.

If you receive a successful creation message from MachShip then please call Kings Transport and advise that you are starting to despatch your Kings Transport Account through MachShip and that you would like to receive verification on the test file (please provide them with the job number). Also, advise them that this is just a test and that you require the job to be cancelled so that you are not charged and the driver doesn't arrive. Please cc integrations@machship.com on this email so we can help if required. 

Once confirmation from Kings Transport that the setup is validated, you are free to begin to consign.
