Usage breakdown

Who trades X12 214 Transportation Carrier Shipment Status Message

214 is used most heavily in logistics & transport, grocery & food and retail.

The 214 reports shipment milestones and exceptions: arrival at pickup, departure with the shipment, en route updates, delays with reason codes, and completed delivery, each stamped with dates, times, and locations. Shippers and consignees require it for track and trace, dock and labor scheduling, and carrier performance measurement, and they reconcile it against the 204 tender and the 210 freight bill before authorizing payment. The motor carrier or its agent sends the 214 to the shipper, and often to the consignee or a 3PL managing the freight. A shipment milestone or exception occurs, such as the driver departing the pickup location, an en route delay, or completed delivery, and the carrier's system emits the corresponding status update.
