---+++ About delivery slots
   * Delivery slots are used by transporters to have their customers choose a predefined delivery date and time (a slot).
   * Slots are generated for a number of weeks ahead and stored in param *deliverySlots*.
   * The definition to generate slots is in param *deliverySlotsDef*. It contains information like postcode areas, days of the week and number of slots available.
   * Besides a limited number of slots for a specific date and postcode area, their might also be a limitation on weight, loadmeters and volume, depending on the truck sizes used on that date.
