hi ramana

leg is nothing but the route

there r 5 types of legs

1. preliminary leg( for example your route destination is from delhi thru mumbai to chennai, preliminary leg is from delhi to mumbai)

2. subsequent leg( is from mumbai to chennai. this comes after ur preliminary leg)

3.direct leg( from delhi to chennai in one shot)

4.main leg( is from one stop point to another stop point for example from delhi to ur first point ie mumbai or it can be from mumbai to chennai also)

5. return leg( is the reverse action directly ie from chennai to delhi in the other direction)

hope it gave u some idea

reward points if helpful

A Stage actually refers to the information about the geographical factors of a shipment. Any shipment can have 3 types of stages - Legs, Load Transfer Point and Border Crossing Point.

A shipment can have any one or all 3 or any combination of the stages.

Leg - Refers to the Starting point and Ending point of a shipment. Could also include any intermediate points (Destinations)

For eg. : Assume there are two deliveries (D1 and D2) in a shipment.

D1 : From A - B

D2 : From C - D

Now the legs will typically be

A - B (D1 is assigned)

B - C (Empty leg - No deliveries)

C - D (D2 is assigned)

There are different types of legs available

1. Direct leg

2. Preliminary Leg

3. Main Leg

4. Subsequent Leg

5. Return Leg

In the example above, all legs are "Direct Legs".

If a shipment goes from Bangalore to Palo Alto Via Mumbai and San Fransisco then

Bangalore - Mumbai (Via Road / Rail) - Preliminary Leg

Mumbai - SFO (Via Sea / Air) - Main Leg

SFO - Palo Alto (Via Road) - Subsequent Leg

Off the above 3 legs, Mumbai could be a Load Transfer Point (The point where a shipment is unloaded from one MOT and loaded onto another).

Hope this info helps.
