Interline Freight

[whoopNride]

First Load arrived in Dallas today. 31 bills, on Glen Moore Trailor.

We were told today, Bestway recieved 247 shipments the first week from New Penn. 98.4% on time delivery.

Keep them coming.:smilie_132:

98.4% would get certain companies fired.

Most shippers will not accept less than 99% on time service...

im curious, how do you guys get the precise percentages on what frt. is getting delivered ? i've always heard the TM make those comments but it's so hard to believe em. some please pass the info on.

Depends on the company. Some of the bigger companies like the Yellow group and FedEx, etc run reports daily.

When the freight is picked up a delivery date is auctomatically generated whenit is manifested. When the freight is delivered it is automatically rated.

Where it gets tricky is when things like appointments come in to play. That will change the due date on that freight. Years ago TMs would alter freight when they would see they were going to have service issues and change the bills to appointment status.

That will get most TMs fired nowadays so you do not see it.

The other thing that is tricky is when you have a service failure. That freight is now a failure and cannot be counted against again.

That is why you see so many times when a bill is brought back one day, a dispatcher or TM will flag it day in and day out, until someone is screaming for it.

Some other companies just throw out a dumb number and sees what happens.

Frog thats a couple of interesting posts. 99% is really tough in the southern market with the service standards required in the nextday lanes. Frog who do you work for or if you have reason for privacy I'll respect that. GRIZZ

i know when i ran the city for npme, anything that came back for what ever reason, was pushed to app. bin, and that was also reason it didnt get del. that day.makes it pretty easy to get the 99% ontime delivery thing. also, check out any ltl's carriers web-site, and they all claim to be the best at on-time del. and most if not all show 98-99% on time del status.

Grizz, New Penn had interline relationships long before USF came along. They use Wilson and Super Transport in the south and and Alvan in the great lakes area. I don't know if that freight will eventually go to the USF companies

CFer I know New Penn interlines with Wilson here in VA but I think it is controlled by who gets what. In the Hampton Roads area we had some interline freight from New Penn to Roadway but the rural areas and outlying areas it goes to Wilson.
I thought this would be an issue but I guess there are bigger issues to tackle b/4 focusing on that.

I used to see Holland running into our area out of Richmond but I think they interline it to another carrier cause I don't see them running anymore as a presence here. I did hear a rumor they were interlining it to Averritt...HHmmmm
