The EDI 213 transaction set is an electronic version of a paper Motor Carrier Shipment Status Inquiry that complies with the ANSI X12 EDI specifications. EDI 213 transaction set can be transmitted by shipper or consignee to request status of a certain shipment from a motor carrier. There is no need to send EDI 213 transaction set when by shipper and motor carrier both have a set schedule for responses (like an EDI 214 Motor Carrier Shipment Status Message).
