Usage breakdown
Who trades X12 417 Rail Carrier Waybill Interchange
417 is used most heavily in logistics & transport.
The X12 417 exchanges waybill data and movement instructions between railroads and is used by all Class I rail carriers in the United States and Canada. On interline moves the billing road forwards the waybill to the connecting carriers so each road can move the car and settle its share of the revenue. Railinc's waybilling guidance ties accurate waybill data directly to proper shipment movement, accurate freight bills, and dispute-free settlement between railroads. The origin or billing railroad sends the 417 to the connecting railroads in the route. A billing railroad creates or corrects a waybill for a shipment that moves over more than one railroad and must hand the waybill to the connecting carriers.
