Scheduling API Specification

Overview

This API allows customers to integrate their systems with Maersk’s systems for scheduling pickups and deliveries electronically.

The following factors determine whether a shipment may or may not be scheduled via this API for outbound deliveries.

The distance from Maersk’s nationwide domestic stations: Currently, the application is limited to points within a 65-mile radius from a station.
The requested home-delivery service level: Some levels entail resources that cannot be scheduled online such as specialized services, equipment, and personnel.
The current location of the freight: Maersk does not allow the scheduling of deliveries until the freight is in one of our stations or beyond the agent’s physical possession

Pickup Business Rules

The Pro Number parameter for the GetTimeSlotsForPro and GetTimeSlotsForProXML calls can be an empty string, which automatically triggers time slots for a future pickup to be returned.
The first available day for pickups is at least 48 hours from the time of calling the API.
Time slots are unavailable for scheduling of pickups on holidays and outside of Mon–Fri.
The 4-hour pickup windows are:
- 10 am–2 pm
- 11 am–3 pm
- 12 pm–4 pm
- 1 pm–5 pm
- 2 pm–6 pm
- 3 pm–7 pm
