Who is responsible for submitting a transportation discrepancy report (TDR)?

The transportation discrepancy report (TDR) is specifically the responsibility of the transportation management office. This office is tasked with overseeing the shipment and receipt of cargo, ensuring that all transportation processes meet regulatory and operational standards. When discrepancies arise during transportation, such as lost, damaged, or incorrectly shipped goods, the transportation management office is equipped to investigate and report these issues effectively.

By managing the TDR process, the transportation management office helps maintain accountability and enhances the overall efficiency of the logistics chain. Their expertise ensures that necessary actions are taken to resolve discrepancies, maintain inventory accuracy, and uphold the standards of the logistics operation. This role is critical since prompt reporting and resolution of discrepancies can lead to better resource management and prevent future logistical issues.

The other roles, while important in their respective functions, do not hold the primary responsibility for TDR submissions, as they focus on different aspects of the logistics process.
