EDI 990

EDI 990 Load Tender Response

The EDI 990 refers to Load Tender Response which is an electronic data interchange (EDI) document used in the transportation industry. The 990 Load Tender Response document is used by motor carriers to communicate their response to a 204 Motor Carrier Load Tender. i.e. the carrier will tell the shipper whether or not a specific shipment will be picked by the shipper.

Like the 204 Tender, the 990 response is used only for full truckload shipments. The 990 Response can have 5 different responses - Tender accepted, tender declined, tender accepted with conditions, spot bid request accepted, or spot bid request declined. In addition to the carrier’s response to the tender, the 990 Response may contain a small amount of information that is relevant to the particular shipment. For example, it may include the reason the tender was declined.

After the 990 transaction is sent, the shipper will respond with a 997 Functional Acknowledgement, confirming that the 990 was received successfully.
