Problems We SOLVE
Deployment Volatility Inflicts Injury
Volatile deployment plans drive excess costs:
- Non-preferred freight carriers = higher costs and worse service
- Detention
- Overtime
Volatile deployment plans hurt service (In-full, On-time) as needed product can’t be unloaded in time to meet customer service

91% of all trucks are underloaded
Without optimized load building planners have to settle for shipments being less than full... why? Because it is hard to know how to combine requirements to max-out trailers keeping in mind that the loads need to be axle-legal and arrive without any product damage. Thousands of examples show an opportunity to increase payload by 5-10%.
