Procedure for Arranging Shipment:
- Fill out and send the Shipping Request Form or DD1149 From with as much information as possible to the Transportation Officer (both links are located at the bottom of this page).
- The Transportation Officer will review the paperwork and arrange for pick-up and delivery based on specified handling instructions. If there are any questions with the paperwork, the TO will contact you.
- If there are no issues with the shipping order, the TO will be in contact to confirm the shipping arrangements, provide a pick-up date, and send a copy of the Commercial Bill of Lading (CBL).
- The item will then be picked-up in accordance to the specifications listed on the Shipping Request.
- At this time, it is the responsibility of the Pick-Up location to have the Pick-Up Agent sign and date the CBL. A copy will need to be given to the Pick-Up Agent, sent to the originating TO, and one maintained for shipping records.
- The item will be delivered to the specifications listed on the Shipping Request Form.
- Upon receipt of the item to the designated delivery address, the Receiving Party must sign the CBL, procure a copy for receiving records and for transmission back to the TO, and surrender the original Carrier Copy to the Carrier.
