Spot Freight

The main objective for a carrier is to maximize the amount of revenue to the truck each day, so when the ELD mandate takes effect the 4 hour, 5 hour, 6 hour and beyond of loading and unloading times will become detrimental to the amount of loads they can utilize on the truck in a given week. With these tight regulations, I expect that carriers will become selective on the shippers they work with and expect a greater amount of detention compensation than the current standard throughout the industry. To put it in perspective let’s say ABC Co. does 20 outbound shipments per day and averages a 4 hour loading time and their standard detention policy is $60/hour. At the end of the day just about everything we use in our day to day lives is transported on a truck at some point, so the need for transporting goods will stay the same.
