Detailed Tracking API

Business Objective

Use this API along with authentication to obtain detailed Yellow Transportation tracking information through your own website.

General Guidelines

IMPORTANT: You must complete a nondisclosure agreement through the Yellow E-Business Group before you may implement the Yellow Detailed Tracking API.  Any implementation and access to Detailed Tracking without completion of the agreement may result in legal action. Please click here to obtain a nondisclosure agreement or contact an Internet Analyst at 913-344-4888, option 1. Fax completed agreements to 913-982-5436.

Development Guidelines

Send the following XML code to us. (Note: We have added line breaks for easier viewing.) Please remember to include the authentication code.

If you want to track fewer than 10 freight bill numbers, simply delete the extra PRONUM lines from your code.
