An LTL carrier can provide you with a range (a “book”) of PRO numbers, with some starting number and some ending number. ShipHawk can apply the numbers, incrementing by 1, from the starting number to the ending number. (Note that you must get the range of PRO numbers from a carrier.) You can specify this book of PRO numbers for the carrier in ShipHawk on the Settings > PRO Numbers screen.
