The destination is shown to receivers on the bottom line and the consignee is shown to shippers (5)
Summary Table
Below the calendar is a table that shows how the requests and reservations are being filled. The table shows how many orders, cars and tons are in each status to help keep track of how the shipments are progressing from their requested through completed stages.
Scrolling down the page will take you to the details of each request or active reservation currently on the calendar.
