ShipBob dock-to-ship clock is not Fullstack dock-to-ship
Take one ShipBob outbound path export. Read the carrier ship stamp. Subtract the trailer dock stamp. That calendar gap is SB dock-ship lag days. Keep orders beside the gap so volume stays honest.
Pair: Dock-to-ship lag on Stock. Fullstack twin: FS dock-ship. Putaway twin: dock-to-putaway.
Outbound-path columns
Trailer dock stamp — Calendar day ShipBob stamped when the inbound (or cross-dock) hit the trailer dock for that outbound path.
Carrier ship stamp — Calendar day those orders left as carrier-shipped.
Orders — ShipBob orders on that trailer-to-carrier cut.
SB dock-ship lag days = carrier ship stamp − trailer dock stamp. When SB dock-ship lag days stretch, staff the ShipBob outbound path before you pace ads — blank chips stay blank.
Hard stops
Do not invent SB dock-ship lag days. Do not dump dock-to-putaway or pick-to-ship hours into trailer/carrier boxes. Do not paste Fullstack dock-to-ship CSVs into ShipBob fields. Do not fuse sites when one ShipBob building owns the outbound pile.

FAQ
- Is this Fullstack dock-to-ship lag?
- ShipBob WMS outbound path vs Fullstack dock-to-ship cut. [Dock-to-ship lag](/manuals/fullstack-dock-to-ship-lag) stays on Fullstack. Trailer / carrier stamps never leave ShipBob here.
- Is this ShipBob dock-to-putaway lag?
- Outbound carrier clock vs inbound putaway clock. [Dock-to-putaway lag](/manuals/shipbob-dock-to-putaway-lag) aligns putaway against dock. Here you align carrier ship stamp against trailer dock stamp on orders.
- What SB dock-ship lag days should I invent?
- None. Source trailer dock stamp, carrier ship stamp, and orders from the same ShipBob outbound path export.
