Package shippers go high-tech
2015-11-27 14:10:46| Air Courier - Topix.net
Around 8 a.m. at a cavernous warehouse outside Pittsburgh recently, about four dozen delivery drivers for United Parcel Service got their first look at the scheduled drop-offs for the day. Prepping for roughly nine-hour shifts with anywhere from 50 to 150 stops, it could have been - and, until recently, was - a daunting start, as drivers had to calculate how best to juggle the day's load while negotiating Pittsburgh-area traffic snarls.

White paper does the detention math for shippers
2015-07-07 07:18:34| Trucking - Topix.net
Would the 11-hour driving limit for truckers make more sense to shippers and receivers if that time could be translated into value, into real-world miles, into dollars and cents? That's the approach taken in a recent white paper, " 660 Minutes: How Improving Driver Efficiency Increases Capacity ," from J.B. Hunt Transport Inc.
