As a fleet allocator, I would like the ability to assign a number of trucks for a carrier to a given order, without knowing the trucks ahead of time As a fleet coordinator, I would like to know the cost of third party vehicles per order.

Many times, the vehicle that will pick up a customer's order is not known - A carrier only states that they are allocating a number of vehicles, but rarely the specific vehicles. Even when specific vehicles are given, it can change without notice.
