Split a Shipment

Overview

Handling units on a shipment may be split into new shipments due to customer request or in order to better utilize the space available on carriers contracted by ProTrans. Depending on the reason, the split may be labeled either a revenue split or a free astray split.

• Revenue: The shipment is split due to customer request. For example, a customer needs two pallets pulled from a total shipment of seven pallets.
• Free Astray: The shipment is split to better utilize carrier space and not as a result of customer involvement.
