ClearTrack's Import TMS solution has saved clients millions of dollars in accessorial related charges over the past decade. Most companies struggle with how to efficiently manage transportation related expenses that fall outside of their planned supply chain operations. Accessorial charges are often buried or hidden in a wide range of carrier or vendor related expenses. In many cases companies lose million of dollars each year without realizing the true scale of the issues at hand. Accessorial costs can include but are not limited too; trailer detention, driver detention, out of route miles, special deliveries, driver touch (load, unload, or count), lumper services, trailer or container storage, per diem charges, reposition charges, flip charges, and over weight fines, to name just a few. To add to the problem for most companies, these costs are on the rise with no end in sight. Per Diem charges alone have risen from an average cost of $4 per day in 1998 to $150+ dollars per day in 2008. In many cases most companies are not even aware of their total losses or transportation expenses related to accessorial. With ClearTrack’s Import TMS solution, your company can not only measure your accessorial expenses but in most cases you will be able to eliminate the charges all together.
