EDI 990: Response to a Load Tender
The carrier’s acceptance or rejection of a 204 load tender.
Carrier → Shipper / Broker
Shortly after a carrier receives a 204 load tender.
What is the EDI 990?
The EDI 990 is the carrier’s answer to a 204. It references the shipper’s load ID and returns one decision: accept (A) or decline (D), often with a reason and the carrier’s own reference number. A load is not covered until an accepting 990 comes back, which is why tender acceptance rate is one of the first numbers shippers track on a carrier scorecard.
How EndlessEDI handles the 990
EndlessEDI receives 990s and records each carrier’s accept or decline on the shipment, so a declined load surfaces in time to rebook.
