What happens if you unassign a freight unit that has blocked a freight order because of a discrepancy?

Question

Options

• AThe block remains on the freight order but is removed from the freight unit.
• BThe block is removed from both the freight unit and the freight order.
• CThe block remains on the freight unit but is removed from the freight order.
• DThe block remains on the freight unit and the freight order.

• A
  23% (15)
• B
  5% (3)
• C
  63% (41)
• D
  9% (6)

Explanation

Option C is correct because the discrepancy block is logically tied to the freight unit itself - the unit still carries the unresolved issue that triggered the block in the first place. When you unassign the freight unit from the freight order, you remove the source of the problem from that order, so the freight order's block is lifted automatically. The freight unit, however, retains its block because the underlying discrepancy still exists on it and hasn't been resolved.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A inverts the logic - the freight order is cleared (its problem is gone), not the freight unit (its problem remains).
• B is incorrect because unassigning doesn't resolve the discrepancy; it only removes the freight unit from the order, so the unit's block persists.
• D is incorrect because the freight order no longer contains the problematic freight unit, so there's no reason for its block to remain.

Memory tip: Think of the block as "belonging to whoever still has the problem." After unassigning, the freight order is problem-free (block removed), but the freight unit is still the one with the discrepancy (block stays). Block follows the burden.
