Handle Hercules Freight shipments through one Unified API
If Hercules Freight is part of your shipping mix, ShipPeek gives your team one place to request enabled rates, bookings, tracking, labels, and documents. You keep ShipPeek's Unified API; ShipPeek handles the carrier-specific codes, credentials, mappings, and response differences.
- 2 workflows
- HRCF carrier code
- LTL freight shipment type
Carrier-specific handling
What ShipPeek handles for Hercules Freight
ShipPeek is not asking your team to buy a standalone Hercules Freight API. Hercules Freight runs as an enabled carrier workflow inside ShipPeek's Unified API, with carrier-specific setup, mapping, and response handling kept behind one contract.
Carrier setup
01Use HRCF and your enabled carrier-account configuration from one place instead of hardcoding Hercules Freight rules into every product workflow.
Workflow mapping
02ShipPeek maps Hercules Freight rates, tracking events, bookings, labels, and documents into normalized objects where those workflows are enabled.
Operational accountability
03Carrier responses and exceptions come back through the Unified API so your team can tell whether an issue is credentials, lane/service eligibility, missing documents, or carrier-side availability.
Carrier workflows
What you can do with Hercules Freight in ShipPeek
Capabilities are enabled per account and carrier configuration, so this page shows the Hercules Freight workflows ShipPeek can route through the Unified API — not a promise that every lane or service is available for every account.
Tracking
Hercules Freight tracking events come back in the same shipment status model you use across every supported carrier.
Integration model
One API contract, Hercules Freight-aware routing
Keep ShipPeek's Unified API as the integration surface. Use carrier identifier hrcf to route eligible workflows to Hercules Freight; ShipPeek keeps carrier-specific request fields, credentials, and response mappings out of your product code.
- Track Hercules Freight shipments and status events without portal checks
- Keep Hercules Freight inside the same API contract as the rest of your carriers
Unified API example
curl "https://api.shippeek.com/track/123456789?carrier=hrcf" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"The carrier identifier selects an enabled workflow. It does not create a separate Hercules Freight product surface; ShipPeek's Unified API remains the contract.
How it works
How a Hercules Freight request moves through ShipPeek
Send one request
01Your app sends a standard ShipPeek request for the workflow it needs and includes Hercules Freight only when that carrier should handle the shipment.
Apply carrier setup
02ShipPeek uses the enabled Hercules Freight configuration, including carrier identifier hrcf, credentials, and available workflow rules.
Translate the response
03Carrier rates, tracking events, labels, or documents are mapped back into ShipPeek's normalized fields where available.
Act on one model
04Your team gets a consistent response shape with enough carrier context to route support, exceptions, and downstream automation.

FAQ
Questions about Hercules Freight
How does ShipPeek support Hercules Freight?
ShipPeek supports Hercules Freight as a carrier workflow inside the ShipPeek Unified API. It is not a separate Hercules Freight-only product or an official Hercules Freight-owned API; enabled capabilities depend on your account, region, credentials, and carrier permissions.
Can I track Hercules Freight shipments?
Yes. ShipPeek normalizes Hercules Freight tracking events into the same shipment status model used across supported carriers, so operations and support teams are not forced back into a carrier portal for every update.
Can ShipPeek get Hercules Freight rates?
Rating is not currently listed for this carrier profile. Availability varies by integration setup.
Can ShipPeek create Hercules Freight bookings?
Booking is not currently listed for this carrier profile. Contact ShipPeek to review whether this workflow can be enabled through the Unified API.
Can I get Hercules Freight labels or documents?
Labels and documents are not currently listed for this carrier profile. Capabilities vary by account and carrier configuration.
What does ShipPeek handle for Hercules Freight?
For enabled workflows, ShipPeek handles the Unified API contract, carrier identifier, request and response mapping, status normalization, and document workflow shape. Carrier acceptance, service availability, rates, and document availability still depend on Hercules Freight and your carrier account setup.
Is ShipPeek an official Hercules Freight API?
No. ShipPeek is a unified logistics API platform that connects to supported carrier integrations. ShipPeek is not Hercules Freight or a Hercules Freight-owned API.
