Excerpt from Routing Freight Shipments It is not an easy matter to describe just exactly what is implied by the word "routing, " particularly when it relates to routing freight shipments. It is evident that a person wishing to make a journey would not board the first passenger train that he saw, or possibly the one nearest his residence or place of business. It is more likely that he would study the schedules and acquaint himself with the times of arrival and departure by the several routes and of the number of times to transfer, and he would also find out whether close connection could be made at the transfer points. His selection would certainly be made in accordance with his understanding of the service performed by each of the routes. It cannot be said that a shipper is routing his shipments when they are given indiscriminately to one or more of the various routes, or when divided among the routes either by periods or by tonnage. Section 15 of the Act to Regulate Commerce gives to the shipper the right to route his freight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
