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.
