Driver Check-in via Check-in Terminal | TradeLink Help Center

Learn how drivers can check in efficiently with or without a TradeLink ID (TL-ID).

 

Option A: Check-in with TL-ID – “Express Check-in”

Discover how to optimize the check-in process for drivers with a TL-ID to make operations faster and more efficient.

 

Tip: Drivers with a TL-ID benefit from a 40% faster processing time. Therefore, make sure that the carrier or supplier provides the driver with the TL-ID before arrival.

Why promote the use of the TL-ID?

  • Efficiency: Faster processing reduces waiting times.

  • Accuracy: Minimizes manual effort and prevents duplicate bookings.

  • User-friendliness: Ensures smoother operations for your team and your logistics partners.

 


Steps: How the driver can check in

  1. Language selection: The driver can choose from 21 available languages.

  2. Express Check-in: Drivers who know their TL-ID can select the Express Check-in option.

  3. Enter TL-ID: Enter the correct TL-ID (or follow Option B below).


  4. Select vehicle type


  5. Review transport loading details

  6. Specify load units and quantities

  7. Verify license plate number

  8. Confirm safety policies (e.g., wearing protective clothing)

  9. Read and digitally sign safety documents

  10. Receive confirmation of the assigned dock and time slot

Option B: Incorrect TL-ID

If the TL-ID is entered incorrectly, the driver will be prompted to re-enter it or seek assistance.

 

Check-in without TL-ID

Learn how drivers without a TL-ID can complete the check-in process.

Drivers without a TL-ID need to provide alternative information to match their booking. While this requires additional manual effort, there are steps to help identify the transport.

Steps:

  1. Language selection: The driver can choose from 21 available languages.

  2. Check-in option: Select “No, check in without TL-ID.”

  3. Question: “Do you have an appointment for your transport?”

    • If yes: Choose the type of transport (Pickup or Return).

    • If no: Manual check-in is required. 


  4. Provide identification details: The driver must provide two pieces of information to locate the booking. Possible options include:

    • Reference number

    • Supplier name

    • Carrier name

    • Truck or trailer license plate number

Matching results:

  • Option A: Match found: Continue with the standard check-in process (vehicle type, load details, safety confirmations, etc.).

  • Option B: No match found: Manual intervention is required. Drivers must visit the reception office to complete the process with the support of warehouse staff.
