Regional/National Distribution
Is your operation serving a multiple state area with trucks running from 1-4 days before returning to the terminal? Running a mix of Private Fleet and Common Carrier loads? Do you struggle trying to adhere to DOT driver regulations and schedule routes that hit time windows over multiple days?
Direct Route was developed to account for layover times, multiple day time-windows, and DOT drive time regulations. You establish the max work time, max drive time, minimum layover, max layover and standard workday for each truck. You also assign separate costs to overtime, wait time, drop costs, and layover costs. This enables Direct Route to create the most economical routes possible given all the factors that drive your costs.
