A multi-stop shipment lets you manage the pickup and deliveryof multiple orders as a single truckload.

A multi-stop truckload is a single shipment that contains multipleorders. This is different from a continuous move or tour in whichyou string together multiple shipments.

Sterling TMS supportsthree types of multi-stop shipments:

Single Pickup/Multi-Drop

Outbound shipments are picked up at a single origin and droppedoff at different destinations.

For example the driver picksup a shipment at Location A and then makes deliveries to LocationsB C and D.

Multi-Pickup/Single Drop

Inbound shipments are picked up at different origins and deliveredto a single destination.

For example the driver makes pickupsat Locations A B and C and delivers them to Location D.

Multi-Pickup/Multi-Drop

A combination of pickups and deliveries. For example:

1. An empty truck makes a pickup at Location A.
2. The truck makes a pickup at Location B.
3. The truck makes a delivery at Location C.
4. The truck makes a pickup at Location D.
5. The truck makes the final delivery to Location E.

Sterling TMS doesnot currently track more than one delivery or pickup at a single stop.

Forexample you cannot drop off an order and pick up another order atthe same stop.
