Identifiers for Gebrüder Weiss Tracking

To check the status of your shipment, you need a specific combination of identifiers. Our Gebrüder Weiss tracking tool is designed to accept the two primary fields used by Gebrüder Weiss:

  • Reference Number: This is the primary tracking code for your shipment. It can be a GW-assigned Shipment ID, a PRO number, an Order Number, or another reference (e.g., 12345678).
  • Shipper / Consignee Name: This is a mandatory field. As a security measure, you must also enter the name of either the Sender (Shipper) or the Receiver (Consignee) exactly as it appears on the booking (e.g., John Doe).

Gebrüder Weiss Tracking Number Formats

Unlike other carriers, Gebrüder Weiss Tracking relies on a two-part verification.

  • Reference Number: The format for this varies greatly. It is often a numerical code (e.g., 12345678) but can also be an alphanumeric code provided by the shipper.
  • Shipper / Consignee: This is not a number but a text field for the name of the sender or receiver.

Solving Common Tracking Issues

  • Name Mismatch: Ensure you are spelling the Shipper or Consignee name exactly as it appears on your shipping documents.
  • “Booked” Status: If the status is “Shipment Booked,” it means the freight has been registered in the system, but GW has not physically collected it from the sender yet.
