The trucking business should focus on one thing…….How do we deliver the most product safely?

Scheduling & Dispatch

• Optimal dispatch and scheduling is not always intuitive and becomes even less so as more variables such as backhaul opportunities, traffic, and other uncertainties get introduced.
  
• Strategically locate transfer stations to minimize delivery costs and diffuse competitive threats.
• Use of routing optimization models to assist operators in maximizing payload-hour metrics while increasing safety.
  

Truck Maintenance and Replacement

• Effective capacity is always less than potential capacity because of downtime associated with maintenance and repair. Thus, the more we can minimize downtime, the greater the potential return on assets.
• Key to maximizing uptime, minimizing costs, and maximizing overall profitability is the repair-replace decision. Basing this decision purely on the cost of repairs versus the cost of replacement is straight forward enough, but the complexity encountered when considering a multitude of factors such as cost of downtime and missed opportunity often necessitates the use of more elaborate decision models.
