When it comes to transport and logistics, don’t be a dim weight!
“From an economic perspective, what you are shipping tends to matter less than the language of the agreement you have in place with the carriers that govern it. So never mind how you’re going to fit that 3.4-cubic-foot (18” x 18” x 18”) box into the trailer; sit back and let the driver handle that. What you need to worry about most is small in dimension, yet enormously influential — your pricing agreement.”
In his whitepaper, Brandon Staton of Transportation Impact, LLC discusses how important it is to think outside the box, understand the dimensional weight changes, and take a second look at optimization when it comes to paying for transport of goods.
Among other things, Staton points out recent increases in:
- Residential/Home Delivery Surcharge
- Declared Value
- The Address Correction charge
- Delivery Area Surcharges
