Displays route chain in order from the final route to the starting hub.
...
Starting Hub-> Final Routes
...
Displays the route chain with the Load Stop displayed above all stops that are chained to that load stop.
...
Stops Not In a Chain
...
Displays, by route, all stops that have not been included in a route chain
Route chains are used in distribution work in which an ASN file is received before receiving the actual
...
parcels to be delivered.
...
By creating
...
linehaul stops, and chaining
...
route load stops to the
...
linehaul, you are able to track the complete chain of custody.
...
Example
The ASN file contains a list of all delivery addresses with their corresponding parcels (barcodes).
...
We set
...
load stops on the route level so that all parcels from each individual delivery stop are
...
“chained” to that load stop. We then
...
“chain” the load stops to a
...
linehaul(
...
receive) stop.
...
Therefore, we have
...
a complete chain of custody.
...
Every parcel is expected at the linehaul, only the parcels for that driver's route are expected at the
...
route load stop level, and the parcels at the delivery stop are only expected at that stop.
