    What does it mean when your delivery time is 4/19 at 00:00? Hubby wasn't sure what time to deliver. The drop site is a home depot. Thanks for your help!

    24 hour clock.
    4/18 at 23:59 = 11:59 PM on the 18th
    4/19 at 00:00 = one minute later...at Midnight...which makes it the 19th.

    at times it also means that an appt has not been made yet. It being a Home Depot, a time zone wil be made, especially with Plus 1.

    00:00 actually signifies that no delivery appointment has been set yet. He needs to contact his DM to get an appt.

    If its a load I don't really like I deny a 00:00, reason incomplete dispatch. Since I don't know the delv time/ date, it could slow your week down you never know with those.

    For what it's worth, there is no such time as 00:00. Midnight is 2400 hours.

    The planners have a code for those loads, called GONOW, which just means go ahead and get the pick up and sometime during your run they will send the completed dispatch with the actual delivery time.

    A lot of times you can look at the customer and figure out the delivery time yourself based on how many miles it is and when the pick up was. Home Depot's don't usually receive freight til 6 am local time.
