A standard pickup notification for LTL  would provide the North American Motor Freight industry an alternative electronic means of communicating advance pickup information to the Carrier from the Shipper, Consignee or 3rd Party that a shipment is available for pickup.

Less Than Truckload Pickup Notification is a process by which a record is created that documents the Goods that were collected for shipments.
