  name: C.H. Robinson Rating API
  description: "C.H. Robinson's rating product allows our customers to retrieve contractual or transactional quotes. Customers\
    \ can generate quotes with nothing more than weights and zip codes! However, the more detailed the rate request, the more\
    \ refined the quote is. C.H. Robinson has taken this functionality a step further and can accommodate our customer's e-commerce\
    \ platforms to be the rating engine they use to give their customers shipping costs. One of the great features of C.H.\
    \ Robinson's rating API is the ability for customers to turn the received quote into an order. \n## Rating and Quote to\
    \ Order \n\nTo maximize the quote to order experience, we require more information than the bare minimum required parameters.\
    \ Each parameter that has these \"conditional\" requirements has been specifically called out in the parameter description.\n\
    \ See [Order Create With Quote ID](https://developer.chrobinson.com/api-reference#operation/Order%20Create%20with%20Quote%20ID)\
    \ to learn more about the Quote to Order process. \n\n #### Notes: \n * **Multi-Stop Shipments:** For shipments with more\
    \ than two stops (that is more than one pick and one drop), the Order Create with Quote ID endpoint can receive only a\
    \ quote ID and no other supplemental shipment data. \n * **Incomplete Orders:** Orders created in C.H. Robinson's Navisphere®\
    \ Order Management system will be marked as incomplete if any data fields marked as “required” are not included. Incomplete\
    \ orders will require manual intervention by C.H. Robinson team members to be processed.\n\n## Rating and Order Create\
    \ \n\nAlternatively, you may also use the rating endpoint to retrieve a quote and use the Order Create method to complete\
    \ the resulting order tender into C.H. Robinson. Please review the <a href=\"https://api.navisphere.com/api/B2B/Portal/v1/documents/descriptions/RatingWorkflowOptionsGuide.pdf\"\
    \ target=\"_blank\">Rating Workflow Options Guide</a> to understand the advantages and tradeoffs between the Order Create\
    \ and Order Create with QuoteID workflows. \n## Rating and Transactional Truckload Quotes \n\nOur rating API can provide\
    \ Real-time Transactional truckload quotes. These are also known as Spot-Bid quotes or market rates. Please review the\
    \ <a href=\"https://api.navisphere.com/api/B2B/Portal/v1/documents/descriptions/TransactionalTruckloadQuotingAndEquipmentGuide.pdf\"\
    \ target=\"_blank\">Transactional Truckload and Equipment Handling Guide</a> for more detail. \n## Density Based Freight\
    \ Classification \n\nThe NMFTA (National Motor Freight Traffic Association) publishes the NMFC (National Motor Freight\
    \ Classification) which is a standard for evaluating product classifications for use in transportation. There are four\
    \ transportation characteristics that are used to determine product classifications: \n * Density \n * Stowability \n\
    \ * Handling \n * Liability\n\nIn many instances, all four characteristics hold equal weight in determining the product's\
    \ classification. However, in some instances, one characteristic can hold more weight than the other. For those commodities\
    \ that use Density as the primary determining factor for freight classification, C.H. Robinson provides a service for\
    \ retrieving the estimated classification, based solely on density, for further use in the actual rate requests."
