Transport Order

What is a Transport Order?

A transport order is a document which indicates the completion of an agreement between the ordering party and the carrier. In essence, the transport order is an instruction to move goods or materials from a source storage unit to another within a specific time.

When transport companies accept tours, transport orders are sent from the clients to the transport companies. Primarily, the order specifies all important information such as sender, recipient, time slot, tonnage, transport vehicle, loading meter and transport price.
