Get freight shipment tracking

Retrieve the current tracking status and event history for a booked freight shipment directly from the carrier.

The shipment is tracked by its PRO number when one has been assigned, and by its BOL number otherwise. A shipment that has neither returns a 400 Bad Request with error code freight_tracking_not_available — this is normal immediately after booking, before the carrier assigns a PRO number.
