What is a Fixed Date?

A fixed date refers to an agreed-upon specific time for a truck to pick up or deliver goods. It is an obligation in the transport order that must be met.

When a fixed date is specified in a transport order, the goods must be loaded or unloaded at the agreed-upon time. If the truck arrives late, the shipper may have to pay a penalty or face other consequences. A fixed date is often necessary to ensure that the supply chain operates smoothly and efficiently, and it can help to prevent delays and other problems.
