Lanes

Lanes are agreements between CtrlChain and the shipper. They have a validity based on a time range, and the API only returns currently valid lanes.

Lane definition

  • A pickup and delivery location
  • The type of vehicle
  • Optionally the type of trailer
  • Agreed rates spanning a certain time range — for example €500 from January to June, €600 from July to December
  • Optional default contact persons for the pickup and/or delivery location

Lanes are set up commercially — you cannot create them via the API. List them with get-lanes, cache the ids, and pass the laneId when requesting a booking.

If a lane is missing from the returned list, it is most likely outside its validity period — contact your account manager.
