Keeping trailers properly utilized

Accurate visibility. Fleets of all kinds, especially less-than-truckload operators, require accurate eyes on trucks but—most especially—trailers.

They do count on technology but also on their old-fashioned “analog” experience and knowledge to keep trailer utilization rates higher. This is key in a time when e-commerce is making the supply chain more complicated (and, as the world has seen this year, out of sync) and when dwell times for U.S. drivers are higher—a top-ranked problem, as the industry research group American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) has found out. In ATRI’s most recent survey, dwell times rank as the No. 2 concern behind only the driver shortage, according to commercial drivers themselves.
