Cargo Flags

Company's self report a list of Cargo/Commodity Types that they specialize in. We provide three possible filters for searching company's based on these types.

Filter Field	Value Type	Resulting Behavior
carrier_cargotype_flags	number	Includes Carriers that include any of the specified flags
carrier_excl_cargotype_flags	number	Excludes Carriers that include any of the specified flags
carrier_cargotype_otherdesc	string	Runs a keyword search against the CARGO_OTHER field and includes any matching carriers

How It Works

The Cargo flags for the carrier_cargotype_flags and carrier_excl_cargotype_flags are passed in as a single number, where each bit represents a different Cargo Type. The bits, and their numerical values are:

Cargo Flags Example

To include Carriers that haul Logs, Poles, Beams, Lumber or Machinery, Large Objects add the bit values from the table below and set the resulting value in the carrier_cargotype_flags filter:

"filters":{
  "carrier_cargotype_flags":288
}

Since Logs, Poles, Beams, Lumber = 32 and Machinery, Large Objects = 256, we set 32+256 = 288 as the filter value.
