The words on the
docket, explained
Plain-English definitions for the terms your team uses every day — and exactly how they map to Logibuddy.
- AWB (Air Waybill)

- Consignor / Consignee
- The sender (consignor) and receiver (consignee) on a shipment. Both are managed as masters and reused across dockets.
- Docket
