Overview
Carrier Settings lets Pacejet administrators define carrier-specific defaults and special behaviors beyond the basic options configured during initial carrier setup. Use Carrier Settings when you need to store or control details such as account numbers, package types, reference field mappings, carrier pickup times, and other settings that affect how a carrier is used in shipping workflows.

The following carrier settings are commonly used with the Estes integration. Use this table as a quick reference when configuring default package behavior, pickup windows, delivery windows, document output, and hazardous materials contact information.
