# Cancel a freight shipment

Cancel a booked freight shipment with the carrier. The response indicates whether the associated pickup was also cancelled.

Cancellation windows are set by the carrier. A shipment that has already been picked up usually cannot be cancelled, and the provider's rejection is returned as a 400 Bad Request.
