Equipment Pool Telemetry
Chassis is the silent profit leak in drayage. EXSPEEDITE tracks co-op and private pool equipment, calculates daily per diem with gate-verified timestamps, splits invoices between ocean lines and motor carriers, and stores driver interchange receipts so billing teams defend every accessorial dollar.
Select merchant or private pool at booking. Free time tiers apply by terminal tariff and customer contract before per diem accrual begins.
Mobile TIR/EIR photos stamp pickup time, chassis ID, and seal numbers. OCR assists dispatch validation against booking equipment.
CheckPoint geofences track yard pre-pull and street turn candidates. Dwell timers feed Drayage Watch alerts before pool penalties stack.
Pickup and return at different pool locations trigger split-move accessorial matrices automatically on the freight bill.
Configure percentage splits between beneficial cargo owner, steamship line, and motor carrier. Separate invoice PDF segments reduce AR disputes.
Return interchange stops the daily clock. Accrued days post to customer AR with image evidence and GPS corroboration.
