| Possible valuesCheapest For load building, the carrier and related route plan or
standard route with the lowest rates is selected. For freight order clustering,
the carrier with the lowest rates is selected. The rates are defined in the
carrier rate books in Pricing. For further information, refer to Defining freight rate books and Freight rate retrieval. If more than one carrier can offer the cheapest rates, the
fastest carrier is chosen from these carriers. If more than one carrier can
offer the cheapest rates and the shortest delivery times, from these the
carrier that takes the shortest route is selected. Fastest For load building, the route plan or standard route and related
carrier with the shortest travelling time is selected. LN checks the average
speed of the transport means groups of the available carriers, the calendars of
the addresses, and standard routes. For freight order clustering, the carrier
with the shortest travelling time is selected. LN checks the average
speed of the transport means groups of the available carriers. If more than one carrier can offer the shortest delivery times
and the cheapest rates, the carrier that takes the shortest route is selected
from these carriers. Shortest LN searches the route plan and/or standard route with the shortest distance and
then searches an available carrier. If more than one carrier takes the shortest route, the cheapest
carrier is selected from these carriers. If more than one carrier takes the
shortest route and offers the cheapest rates, the carrier with the shortest
delivery times is selected from these carriers.
