Topics to include
Name the steps around the cargo.
Handling notes
Approximate dimensions, weight, and any instructions that affect how the items should be discussed or handled.
Staging direction
How cartons or pallets should be grouped, identified, or prepared for the next requested step.
Outbound handoff
Collection details, the next location, and the person responsible for the following movement.
Before you write

Specific handling needs should be explained before a planned arrival or handoff. These details give the conversation a practical starting point.
- Pallet or carton count
- Approximate dimensions and weight
- Expected timing
- Relevant handling instructions
