Abstract
Systems and methods for allowing a user to input a zip code and select between receiving a time-in-transmit map for shipments inbound to the zip code or a time-in-transmit map for shipments outbound from the zip code, and displaying the requested time-in-transmit map to the user. Alternatively, a user may request to view both an inbound and outbound time-in-transmit map for a particular zip code, or may toggle between viewing an inbound and outbound time-in-transmit map for the particular zip code.
