Terminator Description
This terminator represents organizations that engage in the shipment of freight, either originator (consigner or shipper) or recipient of the cargo shipment. They enable ITS to move goods on routes that require the use of other modes of transportation such as heavy rail, air, sea, etc. This terminator interfaces with Fleet-Freight Managers to transfer cargo from one mode to another. This definition includes those responsible for the movement of freight across international borders. These entities are responsible for filing required declarations, and have an acute interest in the status of international shipments.
