Overview

This Function shall be capable of providing the following facilities:

(1) The ability to allow a Driver to accept a proposed new transport load unit (logistic unit), which shall be either in addition to those listed in the transport order or for a back haul from a Consignee, when the transport contract is said “open” and on a time basis.
(2) The ability for the Driver to allocate an identifier to the unit if the Freight Shipper actor in the Consignor terminator is not supposed or able to do so.
(3) As an alternative, the ability for the Diver to ask for an identifier from the Fleet Manager, or to create a bar-coded label and a transport order, or to modify the existing one through exchanges with the Fleet Manager, Forwarder, or Principal.
