# Carrier Sales Agent column (Trips table)

> What the Carrier Sales Agent column in Dispatch Planner v2 shows, where the name comes from, and why a trip can show a dash.

Part of the [Dispatch Planner column reference](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns).

The **Carrier Sales Agent** column shows the team member who arranged the carrier for each trip. Use it to see who owns the carrier relationship on a trip without opening it.

| **Sort** | Yes |
| **Filter** | Type text, or pick users from a list. The list includes **No Carrier Sales Agent** for trips without one. |
| **Who sees it** | Everyone who can open Dispatch Planner v2 |
| **Edit in the grid** | No. Change it on the trip from the load. |

## Where does the name come from?

Carrier Sales Agent is a trip-level role, so trips on the same load can show different names.

* When a carrier is added to a trip, the trip takes the Carrier Sales Agent set on that carrier's profile.
* You can change it on the trip afterward. See [How to Add Roles to Loads and Trips](/en/help/loads-trips/how-to-add-roles-to-loads-and-trips).
* If a different carrier is assigned, the trip takes the new carrier's Carrier Sales Agent, or none if that carrier's profile has none.
* If the carrier is removed from the trip, the Carrier Sales Agent is cleared.

## Why does a trip show a dash?

**The carrier's profile had no Carrier Sales Agent when the carrier was added.** Setting one on the carrier profile later does not update trips that already have that carrier. Set it on the trip instead.

**The trip has no carrier.** A trip without a carrier has no Carrier Sales Agent.
