J.B. Hunt EDI and API integration
A guide for shippers connecting their ERP or TMS with J.B. Hunt, covering EDI load tenders and status updates and J.B. Hunt 360 APIs.
Overview
Understanding J.B. Hunt integration
Who this is for: Shippers tendering truckload, intermodal and other freight to J.B. Hunt, and the IT teams that run their ERP and transportation systems.
J.B. Hunt is one of the largest transportation and logistics providers in North America, offering intermodal, truckload, dedicated and brokerage services. Its J.B. Hunt 360 platform lets shippers quote, book and track freight, and J.B. Hunt says customers can use API and EDI integrations to work with 360 from the business systems they already use.
For EDI, third-party directories list the motor carrier load tender on J.B. Hunt's truckload channel. In a typical tender cycle the shipper sends a 204 load tender, the carrier responds with a 990, sends 214 status messages as the load moves and bills with a 210 freight invoice. Shippers should confirm with J.B. Hunt which of these documents and versions apply to their account and mode.
J.B. Hunt 360 also offers APIs. A published connector built on those APIs describes operations to create orders, find and track orders by identifiers such as purchase order or bill of lading, and request dynamic full-truckload quotes that can be referenced in a tender.
