Hi Beth,

I have done some detailed testing with Deconsolidation Pools.

Alejandro's approach is a great way to setup a cross dock or pool. This setup is most typically used when the cross dock or consolidation pool facility is owned by a company other than the carrier. The handling shipment is required so that the owner of the cross dock or consolidation pool facility can charge for the work of loading, unloading, deconsolidating or consolidating the shipments.

However, the fictitious rate record (Handling Rate) is not actually required. You can rate a cross dock or pool shipment with just two rates: one rate for the incoming freight and one rate for the outgoing freight.

Let me know if you need more information,

Thanks,
Julie

Julie,

I'm having trouble accomplishing the correct behavior with a cross dock. We have spent an entire week trying to get this figured out and I'm wondering if you would be able to contact me to see if you could help me figure out how to setup our itineraries correctly.

I can be reached @ 859.333.9373 anytime.

thanks....Brian
