Primary Folder (front page) 


In the top left-hand corner of the waybill is where the Eqmt shows car initial and number. 



Below the car number is where the RWC for the car is located. If this field is blank, you can right click, and it will bring up the RWC master screen. You can then use the filtering system in that screen to locate the correct RWC for the car. 

Please remember that if you manually apply an RWC you must then hit Partial Seed and Save to save your changes.  This will change the blocking of the car and erase any switch instructions this car may have. 


Next is the L/E (Load/Empty) status of the car and the STCC code.  

STCC = Commodity within the railcar.



The STCC code information can be viewed in more detail on the Secondary part of the waybill. You then click the Commodity tab.  



If the car is considered hazardous, you can click on the green sad face and that will give you the hazmat information. You can also click on the hazmat tab and the same information will be provided. 



The next portion of the waybill shows you the Origin of the shipment and the Destination of the Shipment 

The Origin is on the right side of the waybill with the purple square around it. The Destination is on the left side of the waybill with the red square around it.  


The Online Patron information is filled in when the RWC is selected. This shows the originating customer. It also feeds information to the marketing reports. This is why it is so important that all cars online have an RWC so this information is automatically filled in.  



To transmit an EDI to the Class 1 roads select Edit.



This will open up the EDI to Road and whether to send a 404 or 417. So, if the KCS is asking for a 417, we will type in KCS in the EDI to Road and click on the 417. You can then hit save. 

Select Resend EDI button.



Next on the waybill are the shipper and consignee. These two fields help us determine the correct RWC to apply. Whether it is an inbound waybill or an outbound load this information is very important. The shipper is located on the right side of the waybill and the consignee is on the left side of the waybill.  



To be able to determine a correct RWC, we always have to know to which Road and interchange point a car is going. We can obtain this information in the routing box. When you first see it on the waybill, you can only see part of the information. If you click within the route box, the whole routing information will pop up.  

This route explains that the TCBR will hand this car to the KCS in Corpus Christi, TX.

 Secondary Folder


Equipment Tab: This will show you whether a waybill is a single car or a multi car waybill. 

 You can also click WB Eqmt and see all of the cars on a multi car waybill.  

 


This tab will also show you what kind of car you are working with. This is a Tank Car (T109) 



Associated Parties tab: These are all the parties involved with billing this car. 

You will use this tab when we are working inbound cars. This is where the In Care of Party will show. It is important when we inbound cars that we always check this tab to make sure we are getting the car to the correct location. 

In most situations the In Care of Party no. 1 trumps the Consignee. 



Misc. Tab: The portion of this tab that we will utilize is the special instructions. If we reject a car to a Class 1, we will want to put the reject reason here. You will have to edit the waybill and enter this information and hit save. The invoicing team and the Class 1 can then see that information and can apply charges and billing accordingly. 



WATSS tab: The main focus on the WATSS tab is the Block to Information. Blocking can be changed at any time without having to Edit the waybill but keep in mind, this determines where the car will go. We will use this when we bad order a car and block it to the RIPTRK UNK.  
 To properly read the blocking, this car came from the BNSF to the TCBR in Corpus Christi, TX. It is blocked to Vestas per the selected RWC so the Block To shows VESTASUS - COR.  


You will also see any switch instructions that may be applied to this car in the Switch Instructions block.
