Accidents |
A container load is handled just like a normal truckload pro. The only difference is that these loads use containers (with a possible chassis) instead of trailers. On the equipment assignment screens, the labels are trailer and converter. Container loads can be: Inbound A loaded container is to be taken from a ship to a customer and returned. Outbound An empty container is to be picked up from the ship, taken to the customer, and returned loaded (or exchanged for a loaded) and returned loaded Domestic A container is moved from one customer to another. Every time a container is picked up or returned, a TIR form is received. This is the receipt! The process of picking up and returning containers is called DRAY. This function in the system is used to:
1. Track container for which the carrier is responsible.
2. Create the equipment record for the container/
chassis so that they show up in the trailer
inventories and can be further dispatched.
3. Remove the equipment record when the container/
chassis is returned.
