SPLC (Standard Point Location Code)

This page is accessed via Shipment Management > Power Data > Geography > SPLC.

A Standard Point Location Code® (SPLC) (owned, maintained and copyrighted by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association) is a code assigned to a location based on a political-based code sequence. It is designed to provide each point originating freight and each point receiving freight in North America with a unique code number so constructed as to identify the point with its geographic location, using two digits to identify State, County and City and three digits to identify Sub-Code.

Part I The first digit of the code identifies a region;

Part II The first and second digits of the code identify a State, Province or Territory, or a defined portion thereof;

Part III The third and fourth digits of the code identify county, or its equivalent, as part of the area covered by the first two digits. When taken together, the first four digits of the code provide a unique number for each county, or its equivalent, or a portion thereof;

Part IV The fifth and sixth digits identify a point as part of the area covered by the first four digits of the code;

Part V If the seventh, eighth and ninth digits are 000, the point is not defined beyond the City level. If the seventh, eighth and ninth digits are other than 000, the point is defined at the Sub-Code level
