Single Shipment | If this check box is selected, the trip must be planned as a single shipment using the Direct Shipping algorithm. This value is defaulted from the freight order lines on which the trip is based.
Standard Route | A standard route is a fixed route that is traveled with a particular frequency, such as a truck that visits delivery and/or loading addresses according to a fixed schedule, a rail service, or a boat service. Usually, transportation via standard routes costs less than travel via non-fixed routes. For example, you can define a route like Amsterdam via Rotterdam to Antwerp that is run once a day.
