TD5 (Carrier Details [Routing Sequence/Transit Time]) Segment

The TD5 segment provides the basis for tracking goods through every shipping movement (a single route among a sequence of routes leading to delivery). Because multiple shipping methods and carriers may be used during the course of a given shipment, carriers / shipping methods can be specified and tied to each shipping movement in the routing sequence. Often carriers are identified using Standard Carrier Alpha Codes (SCAC) developed and managed by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association based in the United States.
