StarShip integrates directly with AAA Cooper to provide rating, tracking, and pickup requests via the internet for LTL shipments to the US (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) and Canada.
Before setting up your account in StarShip, make sure you have already set up Web Services and received your Token ID from AAA Cooper.
