Adding Actions for Commodities
Some commodities might require special actions at some stops. If so, you must add those actions. Actions are priced through accessorial products or special-service products. However, you can add actions for commodities as well, because an accessorial or special-service product might apply to only some commodities at a stop. For example, the accessorial product, Driver/Loads/Unloads, applies at stop 2. At stop 2, the driver delivers one commodity that must be unloaded by hand and two commodities that do not have to be unloaded by hand. The action Unload By Hand applies only to the first product.
On the other hand, an action might apply to the entire stop and not to a specific commodity. The order provides the flexibility to implement either approach.
