Determine a Transit Time

Overview

There are times when a user needs to know the amount of time it will take a carrier to move a specific shipment. While transit times, or service times, are stored within Contract Manager, the preferred method of accessing them is to perform a standard rating call. The service time for the shipment is returned along with the rate, and the rates themselves can be ignored. This ensures that transit times are only returned for carriers with which the customer has a contract.
