Freight Shipping System - Intermodal Freight Shipper Functionality
Terminator Description
This terminator represents organizations that engage in the shipment of freight by multiple means, in addition to road-going trucks. They enable ITS to move goods on routes that require the use of other modes of transportation such as heavy rail, air, sea, etc. This terminator includes third party logistics providers (i.e. brokers, freight forwarders, etc.) that interface with Fleet-Freight Managers to transfer cargo from one mode to another. This definition includes those responsible for the movement of freight across international borders. These entities are responsible for filing required declarations, and have an acute interest in the status of international shipments.
