This screen defines holidays and business day exceptions for the following entities. With one exception (Delivery Schedules), this screen also defines the regular business hours, time zone offset, and daylight saving offset for the entity.
Business Hours are accessible for the Origin Location, Carrier, and Tariff/Service combination associated with each row on the Rate Shop page for loads, trips, bookings, and shipment legs. Business Hours also are accessible from the Rate Shop pages for Tractor Domiciles and Trailer Domiciles, where applicable. The Business Hours page is displayed in view-only mode when accessed from the Rate Shop page.
Default Business Hours
This section displays the hours of operation for the entity for each day of the week. Times are shown in local time of the corresponding entity, in 24-hour format. For Tariff Services and Itineraries, times refer to local time at the applicable pick-up or delivery locations.
Four separate sets of opening and closing times can be defined for each day. This section is not displayed when the screen is accessed to maintain holidays only.
Exceptions
This section displays holidays and business day exceptions. For example, use this section to define each holiday that falls on a regular working day.
If the exception is created to indicate that the entity is closed for the entire day (the normal case for a holiday), hours should not be defined for the exception. To do this, leave all the From and To time ranges at 00:00.
Exceptions can also be created for days when the entity will be open but not observing regular hours of operation. For example, if a location closes early on New Years Eve, the hours for the business day exception for December 31 might be 08:00 to 13:00.
For each entity, up to four business day exceptions can be created for any specific date.
A maximum of 250 business hours exceptions can be defined for a given entity.
