Spanish term or phrase: TM en Viaje
PERU. The undefined abbreviations and weird sui generis fiscal terminology in this job have me on the verge of a nervous breakdown. If anyone out there knows what TM stands for in this context, I'll be extremely grateful.

I think it probably means "metric ton", and am waiting for confirmation from the client, who's gone on vacation...

neutral  Taña Dalglish: The acronym "TM" is in Spanish, for example, "Carga Efectiva en TM por Vehículo"; how then would "transport method" fit into this context?

Note to reference poster
Asker: It's probably either that or "Tonelada de Mercancía". This translation is full of undefined abbreviations and it's taking me forever to research each one.

  -> Thanks, but you go ahead! I don't think it is "tonelada de mercancía" either as Neil suggests, although I could not find much for "tonelada de mercancia". Again, be my guest and put in your proposal. Got to go out!
