204Motor Carrier Shipment Information

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Motor Carrier Shipment Information Transaction Set (204) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide the motor carrier with detailed bill of lading, rating, and scheduling information pertinent to a motor carrier shipment. It is used to tender a shipment to a motor carrier and/or forward motor carrier shipment details to a motor carrier or third party. It is the initial shipment tender between the shipper and the motor carrier and can be used as an advance pick-up notification (load tender) and/or a legal bill of lading.
