Introduction


Various flags, which indicate certain shipment or movement status information, can be displayed for a shipment and movement. A shipment can display a flag for being overweight, over-dimension, containing hazardous items, or containing special instructions.

The Over-Dimension flag is only for a shipment or movement with LTL (Less Than Truck Load) or parcel equipment types. A movement can display a flag for being Overweight, Over-Dimension, or for Hazardous items.


These flags are shown on the Movement/Shipment Summary page under a Flags column. This column is shown if at least one shipment or one movement on the page has a flag set.
