# CDL Last Mile Tracking API & MCP

URL: https://docs.lastscanned.com/carriers/cdl

Query live **CDL Last Mile Solutions** (`cdl`) package status and scan history across the US Northeast and Mid-Atlantic in a single synchronous `GET` request or MCP tool call. `lastscanned` auto-detects `CDL…` label numbers in Pass 1 and hyphenated `943506776-0` order numbers in Pass 2, returning a normalized `TrackingResult` JSON payload—without requiring a CDL shipper account.

## Why developers use `lastscanned` for CDL Last Mile

- **No shipper portal credentials**: CDL's merchant tracking feeds require an active shipper relationship. `lastscanned` lets any application or WISMO agent query CDL shipments synchronously via `GET /v1/track/:number`.
- **Fixes out-of-order delivery scans & duplicate photo rows**: CDL stamps `"Delivery complete"` truncated to the whole minute (which can sort chronologically before the `"Package Scanned at Delivery"` doorstep scan taken seconds later in the same minute) and emits duplicate event rows when a driver uploads two proof-of-delivery photos. `lastscanned` sorts `"Delivery complete"` to the top of its minute and deduplicates identical photo rows automatically.

## Tracking Number Formats & Auto-Detection (`matches` vs `mayMatch`)

CDL Last Mile is evaluated **eleventh (#11)** in `lastscanned`'s two-pass detector and supports both Pass 1 (`matches`) and Pass 2 (`mayMatch`):

| Pass | Rule / Regex | Check Digit | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Pass 1 (`matches`) — CDL label** | `/^CDL\d{11}$/i` (`CDL` + 11 digits = 14 chars) | — | `CDL02855120513` |
| **Pass 2 (`mayMatch`) — CDL order number** | `/^\d{9}-\d$/` (9 digits + hyphen + 1 digit = 11 chars) | — | `943506776-0` |

### When is `?carrier=cdl` optional vs required?

- **Optional (auto-detected)**: All `CDL` + 11-digit labels (Pass 1) and `943506776-0`-style hyphenated order numbers (Pass 2).
- **Required (`?carrier=cdl`)**: Custom shipper references (such as `CDDL07909376`, plain numeric order IDs, or internal `13509.031725` tracking IDs).

> **Raw status & exception flags**: CDL scans do not use separate event codes (`events[].code` is `null`), but include an `isException` boolean flag (e.g. on `"DELAYED- Wrong Address"` or `"Awaiting Package From Shipper"`). `lastscanned` maps `"Awaiting Package"` and `"Label has been created"` to `label_created`, `"Package Out For Delivery"` and `"Package Scanned at Delivery"` to `out_for_delivery`, `"Delivery complete"` to `delivered`, and flagged delay scans to `exception`.

## Carrier-Specific Status & Integration Notes

- **Eastern Time UTC conversion**: CDL operates across Eastern Time states (`CT`, `DC`, `DE`, `GA`, `MA`, `MD`, `ME`, `NC`, `NH`, `NJ`, `NY`, `OH`, `PA`, `RI`, `SC`, `VA`, `VT`, `WV`), so scans in those states convert to exact UTC in `timestamp` using `America/New_York`.
- **No `estimatedDelivery` field**: CDL does not publish an estimated delivery timestamp on public tracking records, so `estimatedDelivery` is always `null`.
