Delivery Attempt

A delivery attempt happens when a carrier arrives at the delivery location with a shipment and is unable to deliver the freight for reasons beyond his or her control. Some common reasons include:

• Delivery location hours were listed incorrectly

• Delivery address was incorrect

• Nobody was available to receive driver for delivery

• A port is too congested for driver to make the delivery in a timely manner

Delivery attempts typically results in a delay of at least one day.
