How can I get an order number for a freight booking?

The order number is generated by the buyer's or seller's order management system at the point of purchase. The buyer assigns it on the purchase order and communicates it to the seller, who carries that reference on every outgoing document — the delivery note, commercial invoice, and transport order — for the transaction. The freight broker records the order reference at booking; the number itself originates with the buyer or seller, not the carrier or broker.
