Frequently Asked City Cartage Questions
How does Exspeedite manage cross-dock floor pallet staging and barcode tracking?
Exspeedite CrossDock module assigns inbound freight directly to outbound door staging lanes. Dock workers scan pallet barcodes upon trailer strip-out; the system validates destination routes, flags OS&D exceptions immediately, and stages freight for local city P&D delivery trucks without manual paperwork.
How does the TMS automate liftgate and inside delivery accessorial billing?
City cartage profitability depends on capturing accessorial fees. Exspeedite automatically detects delivery requirements (liftgate, residential, inside delivery, appointment windows, notify-before-delivery) from electronic orders, populating standard accessorial billing lines on the invoice and preventing unbilled driver service time.
Can multi-stop local delivery runs be sequenced dynamically?
Yes. Exspeedite Fast Dispatch allows dispatchers to drag-and-drop stops, auto-optimizing local city cartage delivery sequences based on customer receiving hours, traffic conditions, and dock door appointments. Drivers receive stop-by-stop updates on their mobile app.
How are day-cab city drivers compensated for multi-stop local delivery?
Exspeedite Settlement engine supports flexible local pay structures combining hourly pay, per-stop bonuses, piece-rate (per pallet or cwt), and detention waiting time, generating accurate driver settlement pay stubs in 1 click.
