  • Building shipments with drop yards

    Does anyone use pup trucks as part of the fleet and using the equipment as part of routing shipments. I'm trying to find out how are you're using drop yard locations and building these locations with your shipments.
    For example:

    At this time a shipment are being planned as shown below

    PICK UP = 9580 - MOREHEAD KY
    DELIVERY = FDS_03032 - LEXINGTON KY 40505
    DELIVERY = FDS_03623 - LEXINGTON KY 40504
    DELIVERY = FDS_07124 - OWENTON KY 40359


    What we would like to do for this shipment is

    PICK UP = 9580 - MOREHEAD KY
    Go to the drop yard leave part of the equipment behind at location
    LEXINGTON_KY_DROP - LEXINGTON KY 40509
    DELIVERY = FDS_03032 - LEXINGTON KY 40505
    Come back to drop yard to drop off the empty pup container to get the
    container that was left at location
    LEXINGTON_KY_DROP - LEXINGTON KY 40509
    DELIVERY = FDS_03623 - LEXINGTON KY 40504
    DELIVERY = FDS_07124 - OWENTON KY 40359
    Come back to drop yard with empty pup container to get the container that
    was left at location
    LEXINGTON_KY_DROP - LEXINGTON KY 40509

    • I know that we can manually build the shipment as such but would like to see if someone else is doing something different?
    • What activity are you placing on the drop yard stops (P, D, or O)?
    • Are you sending shipments like this using EDI’s 204?

    Thanks!!!!
