FreightCOM, being a consolidator, will have many carriers under its umbrella, not only of small parcel (Canpar, FedEx, UPS, etc), but also LTL.
There are many variants that may apply, which filter Carrier-Specific services.
While the setup is almost the same for small parcel and LTL, there is a critical step where you'll fork depending on which carrier(s) you are to set up.
If the Carrier baseline account has already been set up and you intend to add a new Billing Account, refer to: How to add and set up a FreightCOM Billing Account [Step-by-Step guide]
