Delivery route models
The following table lists some of the most common delivery route models and how they are used.
| Model | Description |
|---|---|
| Model 1 - Single Shipment, Single Load | For simple shipments. |
| Model 2 - Many Shipments, Consolidate and Bread Into Loads | Allows multiple origins to consolidate (for example, at port) and be moved by second transport as a single load. then broken back into initial structures to complete separate voyages. |
| Model 3 - Many Shipments, Single Load | Records a single load that makes stops to drop-off x amount of shipments. |
| Model 4 - Many Shipments, Intermediate Drop-Off and Pick-Up | Allows efficient use of available transport resources to create loads in transit. |
| Model 5 - Single Origin, Multiple Shipments, Break | Shipments are shipped from an origin as a single load and subsequently broken at nearest point to different destinations. Separate loads make final delivery. |
| Model 6 - Single Shipment, Merge at One Origin | Example of a merge in transit where components are sources from disparate sites and merged at the source of the high value component. |
| Model 7 - Single Shipment, Interline Loads | Although a single origin/destination pair, the load, for cost/optimum performance reasons, moves more than one carrier. |
