Questions & answers

#Why separate specialist freight from the main mode guides?

Dedicated capacity, temperature control, expedited service, drayage, final-mile work and project cargo describe operating requirements or service designs. They can overlap physical modes and require additional bid fields. Separating them helps a shipper define the actual work without pretending that every requirement is a new physical mode.

#Can one movement need both a mode and a specialist specification?

Yes. A temperature-sensitive air shipment needs an air-cargo pricing and service model plus the appropriate product-handling requirements. An ocean container can need drayage and specialized delivery. Connect the specifications and responsibilities across the complete movement, and identify the capability needed before inviting bids.
