Route

A route is defined by the place of load and one or more place(s) of unload. The place(s) of unload can be located in a geographical area or region, such as south-east Germany.

Routes are used to:

• Coordinate transportation to several consignees along a road or within a specified area.
• Distinguish deliveries needing special handling, such as special deliveries to be made with a company vehicle. If that is the case, the route can vary each time depending on the destination.

Routes are defined in 'Route. Open' (DRS005).
