Aptean Ship directly integrates with Daylight Transport to provide rating, pickup, tracking, and proof of delivery via the Internet for LTL shipments to the USA (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) and Canada. Aptean Ship prints the Daylight Transport-generated BOL, package, and pallet labels, which you can set up under Printing Profiles.
