2.1 Transport Leg

A leg is one pickup-to-delivery segment. A job can have multiple legs (multi-stop). Each leg has origin, destination, scheduled date/time, and vehicle assignment.

2.2 Run Sheet

A Run Sheet groups multiple legs (from one or more jobs) for a driver/vehicle. Used for route optimization and driver assignment.

2.3 Consolidation

Transport Consolidation groups multiple jobs for shared truckload or multi-stop optimization.
