The booking that fits
Linehaul that may transfer mode without splitting the customer-facing record.
- Cross-border pallets
- Hub-to-hub trunks
- When rail is genuinely faster than the motorway
What this service will not pretend
- Terminal cut-offs are real. Missing them moves the window, it does not invent a second ID.
Corridor assignment
Origin, destination and mode are stored against the shipment before the first scan.
Terminal events
Railhead and depot scans explain the transfer without collapsing into a single “in transit” stamp.
Final-mile inheritance
The last van inherits the same tracking number, documents and exception policy.
When rail is actually faster
Rail is used where the corridor beats the motorway. It is not implied on every road booking. The quote names the mode.
Cut-offs move the window
Missing a terminal cut-off changes the booked window on this record. It does not invent a second tracking number.
One corridor record
Road and rail legs share identifiers instead of inventing a second tracking number.
Border-ready events
Cross-border handoffs stay visible as distinct operational states.
Hub coordination
Network routes can be reordered in the control center when MySQL is configured.
