Load Planning
Many environments require dynamic ways to generate loads and routes based on continuous
flow of orders or pickups. Less than
truck load carriers, expedited freight companies, food distributors and delivery
outfits can answer the demands of their vertical markets with a set of comprehensive
load planning tools.
Visual interactive mapping tools help dispatcher build routes in real time with
considerations such as order types, equipment requirements and service levels. Dispatchers drag and drop orders on
existing or new routes with immediate feedback about projected delivery and total
route times. Route overlays suggest
the most efficient distribution of orders among available assets.
LoadTrek.net can generate loads automatically based on previous delivery history in
the region. Historical assignments
create a working base for dispatchers and decrease the number of orders remaining
as unassigned.
In expedited and LTL freight environments orders arriving from other terminals on
line hauls are available for planning local deliveries prior to those orders arriving
at the terminal. Conversely, orders
scheduled for local pickups are available for future line haul planning and ultimate
deliveries.
