Leg indicators in Transportation

[Former Member]

Can anyone clearly explain about all leg indicators in Transportation?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

there are 4 leg indicators in transpt'n

Preliminary leg,Main leg,subsequent leg,return leg and direct leg.

We have 3 types of shipments

individual shipment, collective shipments and transportation chain.

Individual shipment is where one mode of transport is used from source to destination means it would be a direct leg.

collective shipments also use a group of shipments use one mode of transport which would be direct leg.

Transportation chain is where if suppose from delhi to bombay we use truck to transport and from bombay to newyork we use ship for transport and from newyork to washington dc we again use truck.

in that senario first step Delhi to Bombay = Prileminary leg

second step Bombay to Newyork = Main leg

Third step Newyork to Washington = Subsequent leg
