What does Off-Line mean?
In the shipping context, off-line refers to a shipment that is not part of the carrier’s regular schedule or route. Instead, the shipment is handled by a third-party logistics provider who arranges for transportation with a carrier that is not part of the regular network. Off-line shipments can be useful for shippers who need to move goods to a destination that is not directly served by the carrier or for shipments that require special handling or routing.
