The shipment is on the record: origin, destination, freight details and requested dates.
- Pickup scheduled
A pickup window is confirmed with the shipping location, and the carrier is named.
- Driver assigned
The carrier has named the driver and the equipment for the pickup, so the shipper can check both at the dock.
- Picked up
The freight is loaded and the carrier has signed for it. Custody passes from the shipper to the carrier.
- Origin hub
The freight is at the carrier terminal, cargo gateway or port where it is consolidated or accepted for the main leg.
- In transit
The main leg is under way, with position or status updates along the route and any exception reported with its cause.
- Customs processing
A licensed customs broker has the entry in hand: documents checked, declaration filed, release awaited.
- Destination hub
The freight is at the last terminal or gateway before the delivery address, released for the final leg.
- Out for delivery
The freight is on the delivery vehicle, with a delivery window or appointment.
- Delivered
The consignee has signed for the freight. Custody passes to the consignee and proof of delivery goes on the record.
