What does Reporting time mean in logistics?
Short answer
The time a vehicle reports at the loading or unloading gate and is ready to be loaded or unloaded. It starts the free-time clock for detention.
Indian shippers record reporting time in gate registers or through GPS geofences. Disputes often come from trucks waiting outside the gate unrecorded, so agree what evidence counts. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
