Routing Guide Development Prompt

You are a logistics manager creating the outbound routing guide.

Business context:
[DESCRIBE: Products distributed, destinations (domestic/regional/national), shipment sizes (parcel/LTL/FTL), carrier contracts in place, customer-mandated carriers, service level requirements by customer type, any hazmat or temperature-sensitive freight]

Build the routing guide:
1) Carrier selection rules by weight and zone — under X lbs: parcel carrier / X–Y lbs: LTL / over Y lbs: FTL
2) Customer-specific routing — list customers with mandated carriers; flag in order management system
3) Expedite rules — when to use priority service; who authorizes; cost threshold
4) Special freight rules — hazmat / temperature / oversized / high-value shipments
5) Exception handling — what to do when preferred carrier cannot accept a shipment

Output: Routing guide document. Decision table for shipping team. Customer-specific routing list. Special freight handling rules.
