SMS Opt-In & Consent — Delivery Notifications

How LoadBounce™ collects SMS consent from shippers and consignees and delivers automated freight delivery status notifications.

📋

For TCR Campaign Reviewers

This page documents the SMS opt-in Call to Action (CTA) for the LoadBounce™ Delivery Notification campaign. It describes how shippers and consignees provide phone numbers and consent during the freight shipment lifecycle, the disclosure language displayed to them, and the message types they receive. A separate page at loadbounce.ai/sms-opt-in documents the platform's Authentication (2FA) campaign.

How SMS Consent Is Collected

LoadBounce™ collects SMS consent from shippers and consignees at the point they participate in a freight shipment lifecycle event on the LoadBounce™ platform. Phone numbers are entered into the LoadBounce™ shipper portal or signing flow, alongside consent disclosure language describing the delivery notification messages that will follow. SMS messages are sent exclusively for automated delivery status notifications tied to that specific shipment — pickup confirmations, signature requests, delivery receipts, and exception alerts. No marketing SMS is ever sent.

Complete Opt-In Path — Step by Step

1

Carrier or driver creates a load in LoadBounce™

An authorized carrier user posts a load tendering a shipment, identifying the shipper and consignee parties involved.

2

Shipper signing flow at pickup

At pickup, the driver requests a digital signature from the shipper. The shipper opens a token-gated signing page on their own device at loadbounce.ai/s/<token> and enters their mobile phone number to receive a delivery receipt and any exception alerts associated with that shipment.

3

SMS consent disclosure — explicit opt-in required

Below the phone number field, an SMS consent checkbox displays the disclosure language shown in Section 3 below. The checkbox must be checked to submit the form. The checkbox is unchecked by default. Without consent, the user can still complete the signing flow, but receives no SMS — only on-page status updates and email notifications.

4

Receiver signing flow at delivery

At delivery, the driver requests a digital signature from the consignee. The consignee opens a token-gated signing page on their own device at loadbounce.ai/r/<token> and may enter their mobile phone number to receive a delivery receipt confirmation. The same consent disclosure and checkbox shown in Section 3 applies.

5

Notification messages dispatched

LoadBounce™ sends automated delivery status SMS messages to consenting parties as each lifecycle event occurs — signature request links, delivery confirmations, and exception alerts (damage noted, refusal at delivery). Messages are scoped to the specific shipment and end when the shipment lifecycle terminates.

6

Opt-out at any time

Recipient may reply STOP to any LoadBounce™ SMS message to opt out of all further messages. A confirmation reply is sent acknowledging the opt-out. Reply HELP for support contact information.
