Point to Point was designed to provide our
professional drivers with additional information to help the trip planning
process. It seeks to maximize the use of our driver's time and give the greatest opportunity to run more miles.
We are actively looking to empower everyone on the Truckload Team with the necessary tools to help make them more successful. The information Point to
Point provides will improve our ability to establish an effective and efficient
trip plan. We have seen the difference in effective
trip plans, they lead to better ETA setting, which will lead to better loads, and
ultimately to better miles.
Reminder: ETA stands for Estimated Time of
Availability. It is the time that you
expect to be ready and available for your next load. This is a key piece of information that
allows our planning team to get you the best load with the smallest amount of
downtime.
Point to point utilizes historic information and the
remaining hours of service to calculate the most efficient trip plan for
pre-plans and dispatches. The historic
information includes the average time spent at customer locations as well as
the average transit by lane and time of day. We will be using all hours of service values include the 11, 14, and 70 hour clocks. The idea is that by combining these items we
should be able to give each of you an effective trip plan with expected arrival
times and accurate estimated time of availability or ETA. Following the plan will
help you to get the most out of your time and increase your weekly miles.
