In This Article

This article will explain how to add Delivery details to a Route.

Note

What is a Delivery?

For LCL (Less than container load) and Air shipments, some customers will want you to pickup the packages from the CFS warehouse and deliver them to their warehouse.

For FCL (Full container load) shipments, some customers will want you to pickup the full container from the port or rail ramp and deliver it to their warehouse for unloading, and then return the empty container to the port or container yard.

Navigation

Before you can add a Delivery in a quote or booking, you must first create a new quote or booking or edit an existing one. Once in a Quote or Booking, scroll down the page and locate the Route section (It will be near the top of the page and under the Shipment Type section).

return locations as well
