Hold Codes

What is this?

When a shipment is unable to continue moving, a condition is reported. The hold reason code is displayed in the TRAIN/BO/HLD column in the Location and ETA output formats.

In the Equipment or Reference output view, a red exclamation mark will appear next to the Equipment ID if there is a delay. The reason for delay will appear if you hold your mouse over the red exclamation mark.

When is it used?

The primary causes of a hold condition are:

  • insufficient information to move the shipment to destination
  • held at customer's request, either from the shipper or the receiver
  • a railway caused condition

If you believe the hold condition to be incorrect you should contact a Customer Support Representative.
