The "Tendered" state is a solicitation by the Hub/Shipper hub or shipper to the Carrier carrier, offering them the chance to haul their Shipmentthe shipment. Carriers have the ability to either Accept accept or Reject reject this tender.
- Confirmed – If a Tender tender is accepted by the Carriercarrier, the Shipment shipment then moves to a "Confirmed" state.

AdditionallyAs stated earlier, a Hub/Shipper shipper may bypass the tendering process and save a Shipment shipment directly to a Carrier carrier to reach the "Confirmed" state.
- In-Transit – When a Shipment shipment has been picked up from the Hub/Shipper hub or shipper by the Carrier carrier and a "Picked Up" action has been added to the Shipmentshipment, the Shipment it moves to an Intransit "In-Transit" state. During this state, it is assumed that the freight is in the Carriercarrier's possession. A Carrier carrier may enter status updates by adding tracking events while en route, such as "Delayed", "Update Current Position", etc.
- Delivered – This is the end of the Shipment shipment life cycle. When a Shipment shipment has been delivered at to the Consigneeconsignee, a "Delivered" action can be added to the Shipmentshipment. The "Delivered" action means that the Carrier carrier has fulfilled their obligation to haul the Shipment shipment from the Hub/Shipper hub or shipper to the Consignee and that consignee, and the consignee is now in possession of the goods has been given to the Consignee.
