COMMENTS

Notes
1/0500	The MS2 segment is used to provide the carrier with the trailer number of the trailer that has the shipment on it.
1/1000	Loop 0100 is used to specify the parties to the Bill of Lading, including but not limited to, the ship-from, ship-to, or bill-to parties.
2/0100	The AT1 segment provides the line number for all of the related items included. It may include reference numbers, rates and charges, descriptions, and or line item details. Any data included within a single loop is related to the other data included in that loop. Any reference numbers included in a loop with line item details are related to that line item only. Any reference numbers included in its own line item are related to the entire shipment and can not be broken out by line item detail.
2/0300	Care should be taken when using the AT3 segment to provide the carrier with a pre-rated Bill of Lading. Rates and charges included on the Bill of Lading are subject to audit. Accessorial charges usually can not be determined before the shipment has been delivered, therefore use of this segment may not negate the requirement for transaction set 210, Freight Invoice and Details.
2/0300	The AT3 segment provides a means of transmitting freight charges and the basis for those charges. The amount of the charge appears in AT301. If the charge is based on a percent discount, the percent discount is transmitted in AT307 with the charge, after the discount has been applied, in AT301. If the charge is not based on a rating structure (per mile, per hundred weight, as weight etc.) the type of charge is identified in AT306. If the charge is based on a rate, the rate is transmitted in AT303 with the qualifier (per mile, per hundred weight) codified in AT302. If the quantity of the unit being rated is required AT305 is used in conjunction with AT304. For example, for a charge of $20.00 that is based on a rate of $1.00 per mile the segment would be as follows: AT32000PM1MI*20 N/L.
2/0400	Segment AT4 provides a means for the shipper to provide a text description of the line item. The National Motor Freight Classification and the freight class shall be included in the AT2 segment if applicable.
2/0500	The AT2 segment is used to provide the carrier with the appropriate data to rate the shipment. It is included per line item when the line item includes an item of freight.
2/0600	The MAN segment provides the marks and numbers associated with the line item identified in the AT2 segment.
2/0700	The OID segment provides the purchase order numbers and details associated with the line item details included in the AT2 segment.
2/0800	Loop 0220 shall only be used when the marks and numbers or the purchase order detail can not be associated with the specific Bill of Lading line item details included in the AT2 segments transmitted with this Bill of Lading.
2/1100	The G61 segment shall only be used to provide the name and phone number of the contact for any hazardous materials included on this Bill of Lading.
