Equipment Inventory Equipment Location Changes Vendor Interface & EDI

2 Equipment Location Changes  Effective April 23, 2009, Hub Group will no longer require that an equipment disposition be provided when closing out a drayage tender.  Hub Group now will require the carrier to only provide the updated Equipment Location. –Only two options will exist for updating Equipment Location  Equipment being dropped at a Container Yard (CY) as an available empty will need to be updated to that CY location.  Equipment being dropped at a Shipper location MUST be applied to a DROP TENDER.  This process applies for both VI and EDI carriers.

3 Equipment Location Changes  Previously, when providing Hub Group with delivery events, an Equipment Disposition and Disposition Date/Time was required in addition to the location.  Going forward, Hub Group will only be requiring the Equipment Location to be entered. Previous RequirementNew Requirement

4 Equipment Location Changes  As before, a default yard location may selected or an address from the address book may be selected.

5 Equipment Location Changes  If the equipment is being moved empty to a CY, entering the location of the yard will finish the cycle for that container.  If the equipment is being moved empty to a shipper for drop loading, that shipper address must be entered as the location and the equipment ID must be applied to a drop tender. –This step is critically important. If you do not have a drop tender to apply the container, you will need to contact your Hub Operating Location and request a drop tender. –This also applies to EDI carriers. 322 events should not be sent for empty equipment movement to shippers, only to Hub Yards. If moving to a shipper location a 204 needs to be sent on the applicable drop tender.
