Brokers can customize their My Shipments table with Table Settings

A new Table Settings component has been added to the My Shipments table, giving brokers more control over how they view and manage their loads. With these updates, brokers can now:

• Manage Read/Unread states
  • Unread shipments are automatically displayed in bold
  • You can toggle bolding off by deselecting Bold Unread Posts
• Apply alternate row colors
  • Improves readability by visually separating rows
  • This option is off by default and can be enabled as needed
• Adjust row density
  • Choose between Default, Comfortable, or Compact row spacing
  • Helps tailor the table layout to your screen and preferences

Any changes made in the Table Settings component are saved automatically and will be applied the next time you access the My Shipments table.

We’re actively working to bring this same customizable table experience to the My Trucks page for carriers, coming soon!
