In Scope vs Out-of-Scope
What is in Scope and what is Out of Scope?
In-Scope
Any Kroger or Vendor Managed shipments tendered through One Network or Itrade, whether a Kroger or Vendor Manage Lane
Out of scope for both ELD and Temp:
- Inbound to a manufacturing facility, not tendered via One Network
- Inbound to a Kroger Fulfillment Center
- Direct Store deliveries (DSD)
- Less than Truckload (LTL)
- small parcel
Out of scope for Temp Requirements:
- Ambient loads
- All produce suppliers
- All case-ready meat supplier
**Kroger defines FTL as shipments exceeding 10,000 lbs or 750 cubic feet.
Are floral shipments considered as produce?
Yes, floral shipments are considered as produce. Floral shipments are not required to send temperature data to One Network
My shipments are Out of Scope. Am I exempt from signing the ELD & Temperature letter?
Kroger is requiring all Carriers, Brokers and Suppliers to sign and return the ELD letter to Kroger ([email protected] ). If you do not ship temperature-controlled products to Kroger, you do not have to sign the Temperature letter.
What are the temperature monitoring requirements on single temp reefers & shipments that do not require bulkheads?
- If the Reefer Trailer is single temp, you are not required to send the temp of all three zones
- If the shipment does not require different temperature zones, you are not required to send the temp of all three zones
My shipments are Less Than Truckload (LTL) although we exceed 10,000 or 750 cube feet?
Kroger defines Full Truck Load (FTL) as shipments exceeding 10,000 lbs or 750 cube. If your shipments exceed this, they are considered as FTL and are not exempted.
Can an exemption be granted for local deliveries?
Exemptions will not be granted. Please refer to in Scope versus Out of Scope.
What do we do if we have capabilities to send single zone temperature but not three zone temperature?
Please send single zone temperature.
What will be the allowed temperature variance for all products, and will any products be denied?
We have not set any product temp variances or discussed deny products through this solution.
One Network Data Integration Options
What are the different options for sending Location and Temperature data to One Network?
ELD Telematics Integration – ELD Based tracking is an easy and secure way to connect your ELD units to One Network to share vehicle location data.
Carrier Mobile Application Integration – This option allows carriers to send location tracking data directly from their Mobile device.
EDI Telematics Integration – EDI is a direct system-to-system integration that would push shipment location data from your internal systems to One Network
API Telematics Integration – One Network API supports timely and frequent updates from your source system to One Network
Where can I find EDI Specifications?
- EDI 214 Spec (Transportation Carrier Shipment)

Kroger managed (pre-paid) carriers are required to send EDI 204, 214 and 990 to One Network.
