Direct shipments are shipped using Mothership's carrier network. Integrated shipments are shipped by partner LTL carriers.

Direct and integrated shipments have different status lifecycles. As direct shipments are handled by carriers using the Mothership app, we have much greater visibility into the exact status and location of the shipment. Integrated shipment statuses, on the other hand, are limited to the statuses provided by partner carriers.

Shipments usually (but not always) proceed through the statuses listed above in order. However, in certain circumstances a shipment may jump ahead multiple statuses or revert to a previous status (for instance, if the shipment is assigned to one carrier and then reassigned to a second carrier for optimization purposes).
