How to use the VGM step in shipping instructions (new experience)?
- Pre-requisite to use the VGM step:
- Shipment should be confirmed
- Container number present
- The tare weight displayed is not specific to the assigned container but rather on container type (e.g. 2269kg is avg tare weight for 20 Dry).
- You could check the container plate to identify the actual tare weight of the container being stuffed. Container plates are generally located on the container doors.
