Step 2.6 — Carrier Entry in HaulPay

Previous step: Step 2.5 — Carrier Profile Review and Activation Next step: Step 2.7 — MVMNT → QBO Sync (Carrier)

⚠️ Sequence Critical

HaulPay entry must be complete before a carrier’s first load is dispatched — not after. Retroactive setup after dispatch creates payment delays that are difficult to resolve.

🎯 Ideal State

Trigger: Carrier activated in MVMNT (Step 2.5).

When Forza pays a carrier (or their factoring company) for a delivered load, the payment routes through HaulPay. HaulPay needs the carrier record in their system before the first load — not after.

Data entered into HaulPay:

Data Field	Source
Carrier company name	MVMNT carrier profile
MC# / DOT#	MVMNT carrier profile
Payee information	Carrier directly (if self-invoicing) or their factoring company
Factoring company name	MVMNT payee link
Factoring company contact info	MVMNT payee link
NOA from the carrier’s factoring company	Uploaded to MVMNT carrier documents

Owner: Concetta (Accounting).

🤖 SYSTEM AUTOMATION:

Manual entry. HaulPay does not currently have a direct API integration with MVMNT for carrier records. (Open verification question: does HaulPay offer any API or bulk-load option for carrier records?)

🛑 HARD GATE:

A carrier’s first load must not be dispatched until the carrier is entered in HaulPay. If dispatched before HaulPay entry is complete, the first payment will be delayed while Concetta scrambles to set up the record retroactively.

📍 Current State

• Concetta manually enters carriers in HaulPay after activation in MVMNT.
• No documented SOP for the HaulPay carrier entry process.
• Timing varies — sometimes entry happens immediately after MVMNT activation, sometimes after the first load is assigned. The latter creates payment delays.

🚧 Gap

1. No documented SOP for HaulPay carrier entry.
2. No gating mechanism preventing first-load dispatch before HaulPay entry is complete.
3. No tracked metric for time-from-MVMNT-activation to HaulPay-entry-complete.
