We currently use the new Inbound API to create our shipments. But there is a critical failure point when booking LTL shipments on an Amazon Optimized Split (5 ways).

All 5 splits for LTL must go via the same carrier otherwise both the API calls error out and Seller Central does not work either. This is likely, not intentional as the interface in Seller Central intentionally prioritizes "Earliest and Cheapest", but is causing massive problems as we have lots of freight needing to go out via partnered carrier and cannot choose the same carrier for all 5 splits (And/or it being extremely expensive).

I have opened a case, but am spinning my wheels. When opening the shipments in SC, the pallet weight/dims do not load from the API information unless we click on non-partnered, let it load, click partnered again, and then refresh. The information is there, but there is a backend glitch that is causing massive errors in this process.

None of our shipments are small. All 5 splits are multiple pallets each. No this is not the application side because these errors are present in Seller Central under manage shipments.

Additionally, we have found we cannot use Non-Partnered LTL carriers and Partnered LTL carriers in the same shipping plan. Why this is a limitation does not make sense.

Dear fellow sellers,

Does anyone know any or have a list of the national LTL carriers that we can use to ship to FBA fulfillment centers? The reason I am asking is that my shipments are getting split into 4-5 different locations and if I use Amazon partnered carrier as an LTL option, I have to do it for all of them even though I only need it for some of them.

So if someone knows which national carriers I can use to ship LTL, that would be very much appreciated. I know Estes and Central Transportation work based on previous responses. But if there are more, please kindly let me know.

We are interested in shipping LTL directly to customers but would like to confirm which of the Amazon-integrated carriers available in the Shipment Confirmation drop down list ALSO include integration for LTL shipments. For context, we have used Estes LTL in the past and though Estes is listed as an Amazon-integrated carrier, the LTL tracking ID we input is not recognized by Amazon as valid which causes VTR performance to be penalized. It appears that only Estes' small-parcel tracking system is integrated with Amazon.

We understand the challenges related to shipping LTL directly to customers but are seeking insight into which LTL carriers (from the Amazon-integrated carrier list) will not have VTR penalized for LTL tracking information.
