How do I skip loads from a facility, city or equipment type?

Step 1: open Load filters

Click the funnel button on the quick panel, or open Settings and pick Load filters. The dialog has four views: Facilities, Locations, Equipment and Trip. The funnel button shows how many rules are on.

Step 2: skip a facility

1. Open the Facilities view. Two lists sit one above the other: "Only these facilities" and "Never these facilities".
2. In the Add row above "Never these facilities", type the facility code, for example DEL5. Relay prints this short site code on the load.
3. Pick which stop counts for that code: Origin, Destination or Any stop. Origin skips loads that start there, Destination skips loads that end there, Any stop skips a load that touches it anywhere.

To do the opposite and book from a few facilities only, use "Only these facilities" instead. The Never list wins when a code appears in both. An empty list is off.

Step 3: skip a city, state or country

1. Open the Locations view. It has the same two lists for places.
2. Pick the kind of place: City, State or Country.
3. For a city, start typing and pick it from Amazon's own list. For a state or country, pick it from the list for your board.
4. Pick the stop that has to match, the same three choices as for facilities.

Step 4: skip an equipment type

Open the Equipment view. It lists your board's own trailer and truck types, each with its code and whether it is a trailer or a truck. Add the types you never run. One example: Relay's Detached trailer filter also returns box detached loads, and one entry here keeps the booker off them.

Step 5: skip every non-Amazon stop at once

Open the Trip view and turn on "Amazon facilities only". Relay prints a short site code on an Amazon facility; a stop with no code, or with a longer name, is a customer or vendor site. The booker skips such loads and the chip says so. The switch is saved with the filter set.

What a skipped load looks like

The load stays on the board. A muted chip on its card names the rule that skipped it, so you can tell a facility skip from an equipment skip without opening the dialog. The booker never books the load, and it does not stop on it when the load is new or its payout changes.

Turn on "Hide skipped loads" in the Options view to take skipped loads off the board altogether. Turn it off again to see the chips.

Housekeeping

• Tick several entries and delete them together.
• Every rule belongs to the current filter set. Keep one set per lane; see how to use filter sets for different lanes.
• Max Stops and Stem Time live in the Trip view too, the same controls as in Settings.
