A typical shipment involves these transactions in sequence:
- 204 (Load Tender) - Shipper requests carrier to transport freight
- 990 (Response) - Carrier accepts or declines the shipment
- 214 (Status Updates) - Multiple status updates during transit
- 210 (Invoice) - Carrier sends invoice for services
- 997 (Acknowledgment) - Confirms receipt of each document
