Cancel a freight shipment

Cancel a booked freight shipment with the carrier. The response lists the provider transactions that were cancelled — typically the shipment (Bill of Lading) and the pickup.

Cancellation windows are set by the carrier. A shipment that has already been picked up usually cannot be cancelled, and the provider's rejection is returned as a 400 Bad Request.
