Creating a Filter

When you log into the True North application, you will begin your search by entering an Origin location.  Entering your Origin location will run your search and bring back all of the results that have your origin as the pickup location. 

After you have entered your location and have your results, you can now begin setting up your filter preferences by selecting the blue ‘Filter’ icon on the top right of the screen. 

Once you click into the Filter settings, you can begin changing your filters to whatever preferences you have.  Notice the 'Filter set' heading at the top of the screen, until you save a new filter set, the 'Default' filter set will be the only option in this list.  

Applying Filters

For this example, let’s change the filters to show loads for ‘Tomorrow’, with a Deadhead distance of ‘50 Miles’, and the destination to be ‘1,000 miles or less’.  You’ll notice that when you begin to change the filters, the default filter will appear with an asterisk next to it, informing you that you are no longer using the Default filters.

Saving a Filter

Now, at this point, you can do one of two things.  You can either simply select ‘Apply filters’ and it will apply those filters to your search, or you can select ‘Save Filter Set’ and save this same setting for later.  If you select ‘Save Filter Set’ you will then be prompted to name the filter and save it for future use. 

By saving that filter set, you can now come back to that filter set anytime you want to use it while searching for a load. 

You can always edit the name or delete this filter set later on by simply clicking the blue Edit button right next to your filter.  If you need to edit any of the parameters, simply delete this one and create a new filter! 

You can make as many filters as you want and apply them to any search you do in the future! Just make sure they are uniquely named and easy to understand so you can quickly navigate to the right one for your search needs.

Happy searching!
