Service Provider

Service Provider/Carrier is the party who provides transportation services. Service Providers typically own the trucks, equipment(containers), trailers, other resources like drivers, etc. They receive tender offer request from customers specifying the freight details(source location, destination location, weight and volume, shipment date ranges - start time, end time, etc). Once shipment is delivered, they issue invoice to the customer for freight cost settlements.

Tables:
SCAC - every Service Provider in OTM should be associated with a SCAC code - usually a four letter code standard code associated with that Carrier
SERVPROV - Service Provider details like Service Provider name, SCAC code, transport modes, cost allocation rules, invoice approval rules, etc. A LOCATION record is also created for every SERVPROV record.
