FREIGHT technology platform and digital marketplace, next Trucking Inc, has early findings of NEXTpedited, a programme that's part of the company's strategy to deploy technology while establishing collaborative partnerships, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The programme has been tested at terminals in the San Pedro Port Complex with good results that could transform drayage at scale.
Steamship lines allow NEXT to influence stowage plans, clustering containers, and making it easier for terminals to create multiple free-flow peel piles.
Terminals provide the vessels with priority berthing and leverage the smart stowage configurations.
Warehouses and yards participating in the programme offer the truckers live unloads or immediate drop and hook.
'With the NEXTpedited pilot, we are bringing to life the power of operational partnerships across the value chain - combining process innovation with our data and technology capabilities. We believe this coalition of multiple players who share a philosophy of collaboration and information sharing is critical to solving the backlogs at ports and creating real economic opportunity for all participants in the value chain' said NEXT Trucking CEO Abs Kapur.
'The early results are promising, the model is removing weeks from the delivery time for shippers, reducing the risk of demurrage and other penalties. The utilisation and turn times at ports improve significantly and the driver experience is far superior. Everybody wins.'
