Loads attached to a booking or loads that have selected a booking service will never be automatically tendered. Other loads not not qualified for CST that is, loads with scheduling deactivated and loads attached to a trip) will be automatically tendered to the assigned carrier when the load is set to Planned status. If CST is not enabled, all loads not attached to a booking and where a booking service has not been selected will also be automatically tendered to the assigned carrier when the load is set to Planned status.
