Our Tools, Available on Your Websites
When people visit your website, you want to keep them there. YRC Freight APIs and web services give your employees and customers all the shipping information they need without ever leaving your sites.
By the least complex definition, APIs and web services are online middlemen. They allow your site to communicate with our products and services. They do this by retrieving detailed information about your LTL shipping business with YRC Freight. You’ll need to provide your username and password to access the Rate Quote and/or Invoicing APIs and the Pickup and Bill of Lading web services.
All YRC Freight APIs and web services can be incorporated by your in-house developers or consultants.
YRC Freight APIs:
Terminal Locations API
Use this API to request terminal information. Your system sends a U.S. ZIP/Canada postal code or city, state/province to YRC Freight. We respond with information for the terminal that serves the area closest to you. Responses are returned in XML.

Use this API to request rate quotes for Rate Quote (customer specific rates), Dimensional Freight Quote (DFQ) and Spot Volume (SPOT).
Note: To be able to use the DFQ and/or SPOT rate quote API, you must also accept the Rate Quote Non-Disclosure Agreement.
When the Non-Disclosure Agreement and/or Terms & Conditions are accepted and contact information submitted, we will proceed with the API setup and send the implementation guides, credentials and examples when completed.
Document API
Use this API to request images of Bills of Lading, proofs of delivery/delivery receipts, and weight and inspection certificates. These images can be streamed as PDF images or streamed as XML. You may also request single or multiple images at one time.
