Works with your own Navisphere Carrier account. Fous is an independent product.

## What you can build on Navisphere Carrier

### Get loads from a saved search

Opens one of your Saved Searches and reads the matching loads it lists for the next few days.

- Takes: Saved search name
- Returns: Load number, origin, destination, pickup date, deadhead distance, equipment type

### List my loads by status

Reads My Loads filtered by Booked, Assigned or In Transit, with each load's stops, appointment times and assigned equipment.

- Takes: Status (Booked, Assigned or In Transit)
- Returns: Load number, reference number, status, pickup and delivery locations, appointment times, driver, tractor, trailer

### Check payment status of loads

Reads the Payments tab and returns where each load's payment stands.

- Takes: Load numbers (optional)
- Returns: Load number, payment status, amount and payment date where shown

### Upload a document to a load

Opens Accounts Receivable, selects the load, adds the file with its document type, such as a signed BOL or a carrier invoice, and saves it.

- Takes: Load number, file (JPG, PDF or TIF), document type
- Returns: Load number, document type, file name, saved

## Automate Navisphere Carrier with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

### New loads on your lanes, before dispatch

Starts: Every weekday at 6:00

1. For each saved search you name, get the matching loads.
2. Keep the loads that were not there on the last run.
3. Email you the list, one section per saved search, with origin, destination, pickup date and equipment.

### Booked loads not yet moved to Assigned

Starts: Every weekday at 14:00

1. List the loads in My Loads with the status Booked.
2. Stop when there are none.
3. Email you each load with its pickup location and appointment time.

### Load payment changes, posted to your accounting system

Starts: Every day at 17:00

1. Check the payment status of your loads on the Payments tab.
2. Keep the loads whose payment status changed since the last run.
3. Post load number, payment status, and the amount and payment date where shown, to your accounting webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get loads from a saved search” would look like.

Example request:

```
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "navispherecarrier.com/get_saved_search_loads",
    "input": {
      "saved_search": "Dallas to Atlanta, dry van"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "saved_search": "Dallas to Atlanta, dry van",
    "loads": [
      {
        "load_number": "482019377",
        "origin": "Dallas, TX",
        "destination": "Atlanta, GA",
        "pickup_date": "2026-11-13",
        "origin_deadhead_miles": 18,
        "destination_deadhead_miles": 12,
        "equipment": "Van, 53 ft"
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}
```

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

## Navisphere Carrier’s own options

C.H. Robinson offers its contract carriers a free API that connects a TMS for finding, offering on and booking loads, tracking updates and document upload. You request it through the carrier onboarding form on its developer portal, which asks for your T-Code and RESTful API experience. Navisphere Carrier itself is free to all contract carriers.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Carrier API | Available Shipment Search, Offer and Response, Load Book, Shipment Details Callback, Milestone Updates and Carrier Documents Upload. | Free. A request on the developer portal's onboarding form, which asks for your T-Code and whether your IT team has RESTful API experience. |
| TMS integrations | C.H. Robinson loads inside TMS products it lists, such as Ascend, Axele, SmartHop and SOS Trucking Software. | An account with one of those TMS products. |
| Navisphere Carrier by hand | Find Loads, Saved Searches, My Loads, the Payments tab and Accounts Receivable, on the web and in the mobile app. | A free account for a C.H. Robinson contract carrier. |

## Signing in to Navisphere Carrier

Navisphere Carrier signs you in with a username and password, then a verification code sent by email or by SMS to a verified phone number, chosen from a dropdown on the login screen. With Fous you sign in once through Navisphere Carrier's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, the emailed code is handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

## Worth knowing

- **Documents cannot be changed after Save**: In Accounts Receivable you add each file as a JPG, PDF or TIF and pick its document type. Once you click Save, the documents on that load can no longer be changed.
- **What payment waits for**: C.H. Robinson pays on a signed BOL with the receiver's signature for each stop and a carrier invoice. A load confirmation does not count as an invoice, and illegible or cropped paperwork holds payment.
- **One detention request per stop**: Detention is requested from the billing tab of a load in My Loads. The arrival and departure times you enter must match the paperwork, and a second request for the same stop is refused.
- **Ten saved searches, no intermodal**: You can keep up to 10 saved searches. Intermodal loads are not on the load board, so they never appear in a search.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Navisphere Carrier have an API?

C.H. Robinson has a free carrier API for its contract carriers, covering load search, offers, booking, milestone updates and document upload. You request it with your T-Code on the onboarding form of its developer portal. Navisphere Carrier, the website and app, is free to use by hand.

### How do I check whether a C.H. Robinson load has been paid?

Look at the load in My Loads or on the Payments tab in Navisphere Carrier. C.H. Robinson also points carriers to the Triumph Pay portal. If a load is unpaid, the usual causes are missing or illegible paperwork, a wrong load number, an unsigned BOL or a missing carrier invoice.

### Where do I find my T-Code?

Your T-Code, the C.H. Robinson ID that starts with T, is on your rate confirmation and in the menu at the top right of Navisphere Carrier. You also need it to recover a forgotten username.

### Can I still use Navisphere Carrier if my company is restricted?

Yes. C.H. Robinson says access to Navisphere Carrier stays the same while you are restricted, and you can still haul loads you booked before. You cannot book new loads until the restriction ends.

### Is Fous affiliated with C.H. Robinson?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own Navisphere Carrier account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of Navisphere Carrier (C.H. Robinson). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
