Shipment tracking troubleshooting
Refer to the following solutions to common shipment tracking issues.
Common questions
- Can't find a shipment in the list?
- Update the shipment in TMS after creation. Only updated shipments appear in tracking.
- Dates look inconsistent?
- Check both the event date (when it happened) and status received (when we received it). Late transmissions can make the status receive newer than the event date.
- No actual times?
- ATD and ATA fields populate only after we receive the corresponding departure or arrival events from the carrier.
- Shows delayed but no delay note?
- A shipment flags asDelayedautomatically if it's past ETA and hasn't delivered yet.
- How does delivery get marked?
- We mark delivery by arrival or by proof of delivery, depending on what the carrier sends. If the shipment shows arrived without delivered, check the event list for a proof of delivery update later.
- Want to share tracking with a customer?
- Use the customer shipment tracking page for a clear, end-to-end view. It shows overall status, legs, and an event timeline.
