(Reference Publication) will be NMFC and should be
written in this column. This indicates that the classification data was obtained
from the National Motor Freight Classification.
Now move on to Line 3 (see Figure 2-10). Again ensure that SHPT A is entered in
the first two columns. Then the True Shipping Name for the specific unit (214th
AVN CO) actually receiving the cargo once it reaches Fort Lewis, WA, should be
entered here.
The next seven columns are for ammunition shipments only; so in
The Remarks/Additional Exceptions or
this situation, they should be blank.
Special Handling column is for any information that should be noted. Since SHPT
A will go by SEAVAN, the van number (serial no.
248375) and seal number
(23759783) found in Column 43 of the TCMD should be written in as a REMARK (see
Figure 2-11). The next section on the SPWS (Excessive Dimensions Data)(not shown
in Figure 2-10) should be blank because none of the cargo listed on the TCMD was
oversized.
Transportation Request (TR)
Note that the cargo requested on the TR (see Figure 2-12) can also be included in
SHPT A (see Figure 2-13). Your personnel had enough information to tentatively
plan the shipment. They will finalize the data after a TCMD is issued. On Line
1, the Document Number and Supply Pack should be blank. The Total Packs should
be the number of tents (40). Under the fourth part of the TR, the BRAVO code is
.48; this is .48 of 1 ton (2000 pounds). Therefore the Total Weight should be
960 lbs (.48 x 2,000 = 960). The CHARLIE code on the TR shows the measurements
of one tent to be 48 x 36 x 24 inches. Therefore, 48/12 x 36/12 x 24/12 = 24
cubic feet. One tent measures 24 cubic feet, so the cube for all 40 tents should
be 960 cubic feet. Ensure that this is entered in the Total Cube column. The
RDD (on the TR) is 30 June.
Your personnel should have changed this to the
Julian date of 181 and put it on the SPWS. The priority is a 3 and is written in
the Trans Priority column on the SPWS. The next three columns should be blank.
The origin of the shipment is found in the heading (FROM/TO) of the TR.
Your
personnel should have entered this in the Origin Geographical Location. The next
two columns should be blank. The Destination in the Clear Name again comes from
the heading of the TR (FROM).
Now go to Line 2 on the SPWS. In the Nomenclature column, the requested cargo
(TENTS, GP MED) should be entered. The next two columns should be blank. The
Item Number comes from the NMFC; it is 89410. The mode again should be entered
as V. According to the NMFC, the TL/CL Min. Wt. should be 24,000 LBS and the
