Daylight Transport Tracking. Free & Online.

Daylight Transport, LLC calls itself a major national LTL carrier and dates its start to 1977. It says it was first with direct loading and two-driver teams, and that each shipment is loaded direct to its destination instead of passing through hub-and-spoke transfers.

This guide covers the PRO lookup TrackParcel makes against the public MyDaylight tracking. Other tools on the site, such as the Daily Shipment Status (Manifest) Report, are not read.

The carrier's website tracks by PRO #, and its search box hands the number to the MyDaylight tracker. TrackParcel asks the same tracker for the shipment summary and then its history, always treating your entry as the PRO. A bill of lading or purchase order number is therefore looked up as if it were a PRO, so ask the shipper for the PRO instead.

The search box for an ordinary number sends the letters and digits left, up to 50, with no shape check. When a nine-digit number begins 17, Auto-Detect tries Daylight first or second. Any other nine-digit number gets Daylight at most as an Also try suggestion once the couriers tried have missed, so pick Daylight Transport from the courier list.

TrackParcel reads the public shipment summary and history. The result shows the carrier's status, the shipper and consignee cities as From and To, the total weight of the items, and the delivery date and time once delivered, or the pickup date before that. Each dated history row becomes a scan with its date, time, location and wording, newest first.

Scans follow the freight rather than a parcel: FREIGHT BILL ENTERED, PICKED UP, DOCKED AT ORIGIN, then repeated ENROUTE TO DESTINATION events as the trailer passes through terminals. Times keep the recorded clock, with no zone and no conversion to IST. A PRO with neither scans nor a status shows Booked.

A miss is decided by the shipment summary alone. When you chose Daylight yourself, a summary reply without a shipment puts its own message on the result, and a not-found status code or a reply with no message gives “No Daylight Transport tracking data found for” and the PRO. If Auto-Detect tries several couriers and all miss, one message covers the whole search instead. A refused request, a server error or an unreadable history is reported as the carrier being unavailable.

Daylight hands some freight to a partner carrier for final delivery. ARRIVED AT INTERCHANGE and DELIVERY TO CONNECTING LINE mark that handover, and the later scans may show the partner's terminal code. Daylight tracking can continue to show the out-for-delivery and delivered events, but the partner terminal now handles scheduling at the destination.

Its claims overview says the shipper, consignee or owner of the goods may file within nine months of delivery, and that it prefers its customers to file against it, after which it files against the responsible party. The site lists Claims Inquiry and Online Claims Submissions pages; have the PRO number and the original invoice ready.
