What Is the EDI 214?
The EDI 214 Transportation Carrier Shipment Status Message provides real-time visibility into shipment movements. Carriers send 214s at key milestones - pickup, in-transit checkpoints, and delivery - enabling shippers and receivers to track freight without manual phone calls or portal checks.
Key Status Codes
The 214 uses standardized codes to communicate shipment events:
- AF - Carrier departed pick-up location with shipment.
- X3 - Arrived at delivery location.
- D1 - Delivery completed.
- X6 - En route to delivery location.
- AG - Estimated delivery date/time updated.
Benefits of 214 Automation
Automating 214 processing provides proactive visibility into your supply chain, enables automated customer notifications, and supports exception management when shipments are delayed or diverted.
