Drayage
Optimization
|
|
This application
bundle seeks to combine container load matching and freight information
exchange systems to fully optimize drayage operations, thereby minimizing
bobtails/dry runs and wasted miles, as well as spreading out truck arrivals
at intermodal terminals throughout the day.
|
|
§Reduces freight delays at key facilities that overbook
their capacity to ensure uninterrupted operations within the
terminal/warehouse
|
|
§Optimize drayage operations so that load movements are
coordinated between freight facilities
|
|
§Individual trucks are assigned time windows within which
they will be expected to arrive at a pickup or drop-off location
|
|
§Early or late arrivals to the facility are dynamically
balanced
|
|
§Web-based forum for load matching provided to reduce empty
moves
