Plan Better Truck Routes: Long-range Itinerary Generation Enhances Operations

摘要

Not so long ago, route planning, fleet optimization, and driver allocation relied almost exclusively on the guiie, instincts, and experience of operations managers and dispatch personnel. Long-range forecasting was theoretical at best. The tools used static data, and couldn't handle the inevitable adjustments required by the dynamics of day-to-day operations. This is changing fast. While operations and dispatch personnel's skill and knowledge will always be vital, the tools available today- long-range trend analysis and planning - make for better, faster, more cost-effective decision-making. This is changing the competitive landscape.
