Filters for the Amazon Relay Loadboard

Filters are how you tell Rocket which trips count. Set them once, and Search highlights only the matching loads while Auto-book books only those, so you stop sorting through freight you would never take.

Filters work on top of Amazon’s own loadboard filters: Amazon narrows the board, then Rocket checks each trip against your rules.

Set the filters that matter to you and leave the rest at their defaults. The matching follows two simple rules:

  • Within one row — a trip must pass every filter you set (think “AND”).
  • Across rows — add another row to catch a different kind of load; a trip matches if it passes any row (think “OR”).

So one row describes one kind of load you want; add more rows to watch for several at once (see the bottom of this page).

Max Departure

The latest time your driver can leave. Trips starting after this are skipped. Pick a date and time from the calendar. Leave it empty if you do not need it.

Start Within

Only match trips that start within a set window from now (1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, and so on). Handy when you only want loads ready to roll soon.

Max Duration

Only match trips shorter than a set length (say, under 8 hours). Keeps long hauls out when you want shorter runs.

Distance Min / Max

The range for total trip distance, in mi or km depending on your region. Whole numbers (500) or decimals (500.3). For no limit, set Min to 0 and Max to something large like 9999.

Stem Time

The minimum head start your driver needs to reach the trip’s first pickup. This stops Rocket from booking a trip that starts too soon to get to on time, which protects your performance score. Entered in minutes — for example 120, so you never book a trip starting in under 2 hours. Set to 0 if you do not need it.

Max Deadhead

The most empty miles (or km) you will run between your chosen origin and the trip’s first stop. Rocket skips anything farther. Set it high if you do not want a limit.

Max Stops

The most stops a trip can have. Set 2 for simple pickup-and-drop runs; set it high (like 10) for no limit.

Payout Min

The lowest total pay you will accept, in your account’s currency. For example, 500 to only see trips paying 500 or more. Leave at 0 for no minimum.

Min Price per Mile

The lowest rate per mile (or per km) you will accept. This filters on profitability, not just total pay. The field label follows your region: it shows “Price/mi” in the US and Canada and “Price/km” elsewhere. Either way, just enter your rate as you normally think of it. Leave at 0 for no minimum.

Quantity (Auto-book only)

How many trips Auto-book books before it stops. Set 2 to grab two matching loads — Rocket stops automatically once it’s booked that many.

Location filter

Match by US states, postal codes, Amazon facility codes, or countries, either as a whitelist (only these) or an exclude list (everything but these). Full guide: Filter by location.

Watch several lanes at once (Add Row)

Click Add Row to add another set of filters. Rows are joined by OR, so a trip matches if it passes any row.

That lets you chase very different loads together, for example “short, high-paying runs or long runs above a certain rate per mile.” Test it in Search mode against trips already on the board to see what each row catches before you turn on Auto-book.
