A shipper is responsible for planning, assembling, consolidating, and documenting a shipment and arranging for its movement. This involves organizing the items to be shipped, preparing the necessary documentation such as invoices and bills of lading, and coordinating with carriers and logistics providers to ensure the smooth transportation of the shipment. The shipper is also responsible for ensuring that all necessary paperwork and permits are in order and that the shipment complies with relevant regulations and requirements.

This type of shipment is annotated as "Short" by circling the line item on the manifest and handwriting "S/S" on the right-hand margin next to the line item. This indicates that the quantity of the item is less than what was originally recorded or expected.

When a shipment exceeds the expected quantity or weight, it is considered an over shipment. To indicate this on the manifest, the term "O/S" (which stands for "over shipment") must be written on the right and margin next to the additional information. This helps to keep track of the discrepancy and inform the relevant parties about the excess items in the shipment.

This answer is correct because it accurately defines an over shipment as a shipment that arrived at the air terminal but is not listed on the manifest. This means that the shipment was not accounted for or documented properly, which can cause confusion and potential issues in the shipping process.

When building a multi-pallet train, it is essential to consider the MHE (Material Handling Equipment) required to handle the train. This is because a multi-pallet train involves multiple pallets that need to be moved and transported efficiently. The right MHE, such as forklifts or pallet jacks, is necessary to ensure smooth handling and transportation of the pallet train, preventing any potential damage or accidents. Therefore, considering the MHE required is crucial for the successful construction and operation of a multi-pallet train.

Hazardous materials placards must be displayed on the front, rear, both sides, and at entry points of an aircraft. This ensures that the placards are visible from all angles and provide clear warning to anyone approaching or working with the aircraft. Placing the placards in these locations helps to prevent accidents and ensure the safe handling of hazardous materials during transportation.

The correct answer is The DODAAC. DODAAC stands for Department of Defense Activity Address Code. It is a six-character code that represents the consignor/consignee blocks of the Transportation Control and Movement Document (TCMD). This code is used to identify the specific military activity or organization responsible for shipping or receiving the goods.

The criteria used to determine which cargo to process first includes the destination, transportation priority, and SET. These factors are important in ensuring that the cargo is delivered to the correct location in a timely manner, based on the priority level assigned to it. The destination helps identify where the cargo needs to be delivered, while the transportation priority determines the urgency of the shipment. SET (Special Equipment Type) refers to any special requirements or equipment needed for handling the cargo, which may affect its processing order.

When handling explosives, it is crucial to have fire safety measures in place. Having at least two fire extinguishers available ensures that there is a backup in case one fails or is not sufficient to control a fire. This redundancy increases the chances of effectively extinguishing a fire and minimizing the potential damage and danger associated with handling explosives. Therefore, a minimum of two fire extinguishers should be available at any location where explosives are handled.

The correct way to load the heavy pallets on a C-5 is by having the load team personnel push them. This ensures that the pallets are being controlled and moved in a safe and manageable manner. Pushing the pallets allows for better control and reduces the risk of accidents or damage to the pallets or the aircraft.

The correct answer is "The most qualified load team member." This is because it is important to prioritize safety and efficiency when operating construction equipment. Choosing the most qualified load team member ensures that the equipment will be operated by someone who has the necessary skills and experience to handle it properly.

When receiving a shipment into the air terminal, it is necessary to inspect for matching documentation to ensure that the shipment matches the accompanying paperwork. It is also important to inspect for signs of damage or pilferage to ensure that the shipment is in good condition. Additionally, it is necessary to check for appropriate markings and labels to ensure that the shipment is handled and transported correctly. However, there is no need to inspect for correct NSNs (National Stock Numbers) as this is not relevant to the receiving process at the air terminal.

When a discrepancy is minor and can be corrected on the spot, it is necessary to correct it immediately. This ensures that the shipment is accurate and in line with the expected specifications. By addressing the discrepancy promptly, any potential issues or complications can be resolved before the shipment progresses further. This helps to maintain the integrity of the shipment and ensures that it meets the required standards.

A thin film of road dust is considered acceptable because it is a minor amount of dirt that can easily be cleaned off during transportation. It does not pose a risk to the cargo or the aircraft and does not affect the structural integrity of the pallets.

The correct answer is "is listed on the manifest, but did not arrive at the air terminal." This means that the shipment was included in the official document listing the items to be transported, but it did not actually reach the air terminal. This could be due to various reasons such as misplacement, theft, or mishandling during transportation.

The sponsoring service code followed by five zeros is used when the consignor or consignee does not have an assigned DODAAC. This means that if the entity responsible for sending or receiving the shipment does not have a designated DODAAC, the sponsoring service code followed by five zeros can be used as an alternative.

TP-4 is considered "deferred air freight" and is moved as a last priority. This means that TP-4 is the lowest priority in terms of air freight transportation. It will only be moved if there are no other higher priority items to be transported.

The correct answer is "At the beginning and end of each shift." This means that the security cage cargo will be inventoried both when a shift starts and when it ends. This ensures that any discrepancies or issues with the cargo can be identified and addressed promptly, minimizing the risk of theft or loss. By conducting inventories at the beginning and end of each shift, the company can maintain a high level of security and accountability for the cargo.

A shipment, other than TP-4 cargo, is considered cleared by the ACA when the ACA has not challenged the shipment by the hour/day entered in the ATCMD date shipped field. This means that if the ACA has not raised any concerns or issues regarding the shipment within the specified time frame, it is considered cleared.

When transporting explosives, it is essential to have a minimum of two fire extinguishers in the vehicle. This is because explosives pose a high risk of fire, and having two extinguishers ensures that there is a backup in case one fails or is not sufficient to control the fire. Having multiple extinguishers increases the chances of effectively extinguishing the fire and minimizing the potential damage and danger caused by the explosives.

Being within 10 feet of an aircraft puts you in the Spotter zone. This zone is designated for individuals who are responsible for keeping an eye on the surrounding area and ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment during aircraft operations.

The three-position date shipped code consists of the GMT hour code and the last two digits of the Julian date. This means that the code includes the specific hour in GMT time and the last two digits of the Julian date, which represents the day of the year. This combination allows for accurate tracking and identification of the date and time the item was shipped.

The CSB/ACA (Customer Service Branch/Air Cargo Agency) is responsible for correcting shipments that have been frustrated. They handle customer service inquiries and are in charge of resolving any issues or errors with shipments.

Each ring on a 463L pallet can restrain up to 7,500 pounds of weight.

A single pallet is the only option that does not require marking with a C/B. The other options, such as the small piece of rolling stock, the shipment of pipes, and the three-pallet train, are all larger or more complex shipments that would require marking with a C/B for identification and tracking purposes. However, a single pallet is a relatively simple and standard shipment that does not require any additional marking.

The correct answer is "an aircrew member signals to do so." During ERO (Emergency Response Operations), the load team can approach the aircraft only when an aircrew member signals them to do so. This signal serves as a confirmation that it is safe for the load team to approach the aircraft. The other options mentioned, such as the engines shutting down, the aircraft chocks being in place, or the crew entrance door opening, do not necessarily indicate that it is safe for the load team to approach the aircraft.

All personnel involved in the operation are required to ground themselves to a suitable grounding point or a bare, unpainted portion of the aircraft. This is important to prevent the buildup of static electricity and discharge, which can cause damage to sensitive equipment and potentially ignite fuel vapors. Grounding ensures the safety of both the personnel and the aircraft during concurrent servicing operations.

The receiver is responsible for ensuring a shipment is complete and removing any RFID tags. Once the shipment is delivered, it is the receiver's responsibility to verify that all items are present and accounted for. They are also responsible for removing any RFID tags that may be attached to the items.

The correct answer states that TMO personnel, when under operational control of AMC and located in the same facility, do not need to obtain a signature from everyone who picks up terminating cargo. This implies that TMO personnel are exempt from the requirement of obtaining signatures in this specific scenario.

If there is a difference of 150 pounds between the documented and actual weight of the cargo, you must break down the originating pallet and individually weigh each piece of cargo. This is necessary to accurately determine the weight of each piece and identify any discrepancies.

The RFID tag should be attached outside of any plastic or over wrapping when attaching it to a pallet. This is because the plastic or over wrapping may interfere with the RFID signal, making it difficult to read the tag. Placing the tag outside of any wrapping ensures that it is easily visible and accessible for scanning purposes.

Hazardous materials should be loaded aft of non-jettisonable cargo. This means that they should be placed towards the rear of the aircraft, behind any cargo that cannot be jettisoned. This ensures that in the event of an emergency where jettisoning cargo is necessary, the hazardous materials will not interfere with the process and pose a greater risk. Placing them aft also helps to minimize the potential dangers associated with these materials during flight.

The Office of Secretary of Defense defines "assemblies and subassemblies identified by the military departments that comprise or could comprise a standardized war reserve nuclear weapon as it would exist once separated/removed from its intended delivery vehicle" as Nuclear Weapons Related Material. This definition refers to components that are part of a nuclear weapon or could potentially be used to create a nuclear weapon. It includes both complete assemblies and subassemblies that are associated with nuclear weapons.

To safely winch a heavy pallet onto an aircraft, a minimum of two attaching points will be used. Having two attaching points ensures that the load is evenly distributed and securely held in place during the winching process. This reduces the risk of the pallet shifting or falling off during loading, ensuring the safety of both the cargo and the aircraft.

The correct answer is that articles with the letter "O" in the hazardous materials compatibility tables must not be loaded, transported, or stored together unless separated by at least 88 inches in all directions. This means that these articles are incompatible and can pose a risk if they come into contact with each other. It is important to follow this restriction to ensure the safety of handling and storing hazardous materials.

On the automated versions of the DD Form 1387, the TCN (Transportation Control Number), the DODAAC (Department of Defense Activity Address Code), and the piece number blocks must have a barcode. These areas require a barcode to facilitate automated tracking and identification of the shipment.

The correct answer is 10. This means that you can place two MSLs on any item that is over 10 cubic feet in size. MSL stands for Maximum Stack Limit, and it refers to the maximum number of items that can be stacked on top of each other. So, if an item is larger than 10 cubic feet, you can stack two MSLs on it.

When annotating the GMT hour code and last two digits of the Julian date of arrival on the TCMD, it represents the SET (Scheduled Equipment Time). The SET is the estimated time for the aircraft's block time, which is the time from when the aircraft starts moving under its own power until it comes to a complete stop at the destination.

Unsuitable RFID tags should be returned to the Defense Logistics Agency for repair. This ensures that the tags are properly fixed and can be reused in future operations. Returning them to the shipper or leaving them on the nets for the next consignee would not address the issue of the tags being unserviceable. Throwing them away and logging them on the 463L asset report would result in unnecessary waste and potential loss of resources.

Hazardous materials class 1 consists of explosive materials.

The manual version of the DD Form 1387 may be used for contingency operations or in situations where manual entry is the only option to document shipments. This suggests that there are certain circumstances where the automated form may not be accessible or practical, such as during emergencies or when there is a lack of training or resources for using the automated system.

You can ship a maximum of 20 pallets in one stack.

The maximum number of HR transfer cases that can be safely transported on one 463L pallet, if absolutely necessary, is 12. This means that the pallet can accommodate up to 12 HR transfer cases without any safety concerns.

A tie down provides restraint for up to three angles when applied properly. This means that it can secure an object or structure from moving or shifting in three different directions, providing stability and preventing it from tipping or falling.

Shippers must complete DD Form 1387–2 for security or classified shipments.

Bridge shoring is the correct answer because it allows you to place the heavy cargo on supporting beams that span to the treadways. Bridge shoring is specifically designed to provide support and stability for heavy loads between treadways, making it the most suitable option in this scenario.

The ATCMD is not used to allow cargo processors to calculate critical leg ACL information. The ATCMD, or Automated Transportation Control and Movement Document, is a system used to process shipments through the ACA (Automated Cargo Assembly). It provides a way to process shipments, notify the APOE (Air Port of Embarkation) about inbound shipments, and efficiently manifest shipments. However, calculating critical leg ACL (Aircraft Configuration List) information is not one of its functions.

When building a pallet with limited space, it is important to consider factors other than destination and transportation priority. The movement indicator indicates the urgency or time sensitivity of the cargo, helping prioritize time-critical items. SET (Special Equipment Code) refers to any special handling requirements or equipment needed for the cargo. By considering the movement indicator and SET, one can ensure that the most time-sensitive or special handling items are given priority on the pallet.
