There is now better Trailer/Chassis and Start/End of day activity support within the application. Users will be able to select from a new set of actions in the order input screen that will create more accurate workflow for orders. The new actions in the order input are:

  • Start/End of day

  • Uncouple/Couple empty trailer

  • Uncouple/Couple empty chassis

All of these are available for Goods and Owned Container transport services. For all of the new actions, you will be able to split to add parking or intermodal.
