How to read bulk cargo tracking:
what do statuses and stages mean?
Bulk cargo is a delivery format in which several shipments from different customers are combined into one flight. This approach is especially convenient for small and medium-sized businesses: it allows you to save on logistics without sacrificing delivery time. Instead of paying for the entire car, the sender pays only for the volume or weight of his cargo. The company "Vosovoz" specializes in the transportation of combined cargoes throughout Russia and offers a wide range of related services — from picking up from an address to tracking and additional packaging - more information on the official website vozovoz.ru/delivery-russia /.
Combined transportation involves several intermediate stages: consolidation, sorting, and reloading. That is why it is especially important to monitor the delivery statuses — each stage affects the final terms and quality of service. To avoid unnecessary worry and be aware of where your cargo is located, it's worth figuring out how to read tracking correctly.
Bulk cargo tracking is an important tool for businesses to monitor the movement of goods and respond to possible delays in a timely manner. However, tracking statuses may not be clear without explanation. Let's look at the key stages and their meanings.
1. Acceptance of cargo
This status means that the cargo has been accepted by the shipping company and is being prepared for shipment. At this stage, the documents and packaging are checked.
2. In the sender's warehouse
The cargo is in the sender's warehouse and is awaiting consolidation with other shipments to form a combined cargo.
3. Cargo consolidation
At this stage, several shipments are combined into one combined cargo to optimize delivery.
4. On the way
The cargo is in the process of being transported to its destination. This status may be accompanied by additional information about the current location.
5. Arrival at the terminal
The cargo has arrived at the terminal at the destination and is awaiting further processing or delivery to the recipient.
6. Ready for delivery
The cargo has passed all the necessary procedures and is ready to be delivered to the recipient.
7. Delivery to the recipient
The cargo has been delivered to the client. If there is a signature or photo confirmation in the tracking, this is recorded. The status indicates completion of delivery.
What else is worth paying attention to:
-
Tracking may contain additional statuses, such as "On additional packaging," "Awaiting payment," or "Delayed due to weather conditions." They should be interpreted individually.
-
If the cargo does not change its status for a long time, check if there are any holidays or weekends, and also check the details with the carrier.
-
Some companies have telegram bots.
