Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation addresses problems arising in freight routing and scheduling where full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers are used to serve transportation needs. Each of the problems investigated in this dissertation tries to optimize/maximize consolidation to decrease system transportation costs by (1) carefully choosing the timing and path of freight and/or (2) introducing consolidation points. Approaches are proposed that enable effective planning and operation of freight routing and scheduling for large-scale transportation networks. Chapter 2 presents solution approaches for a shipper pickup and delivery planning problem faced by many large retailers to move freight from suppliers to distribution centers. Each shipment is moved either direct via a LTL carrier or possibly consolidated with other shipments and moved by one or two FTL routes. When using a FTL carrier, the shipper takes advantage of contracted lane rates that establish prices per mile for a truck operated between two locations that are significantly less than the comparable LTL price for shipping a full truckload. Consolidated FTL routes may each visit multiple shipment origins (supplier locations) and/or destinations (distribution center locations). Additionally, FTL routes may move shipments through a single crossdock facility en route. The challenge in this planning problem is to exploit as much as possible negotiated truckload lane rates and to judiciously make use of routes through crossdock facilities to consolidate shipments. The primary contributions of this section are that (1) an interesting new problem variant is introduced to the field of transportation and logistics that is important in practice and (2) the solution approach demonstrates that exploiting knowledge of the problem and solution structure to cleverly select subsets of path variables for evaluation during each iteration of an integer programming based local search heuristic is effective on path-based routing models. Chapter 3 evaluates how to route each customer shipment through a sequence of transfer terminals in a LTL carrier network. At each terminal stop, a shipment is unloaded from an inbound trailer and reloaded onto an outbound trailer. A load plan determines the specific sequence of terminal transfers to be used for freight moving between each origin and destination. The design of the load plan determines the linehaul transportation and handling costs required to serve customers. We develop an improved very large-scale neighborhood search heuristic for solving an integer programming model for load plan design. The main contributions of this section include (1) the investigation of the pros and cons of optimizing system-wide into a single destination versus optimizing freight for all destinations in a small region, and (2) a solution approach that can find load plans with costs 6 to 7\% lower than those used in practice, and can find 2.5 to 5\% additional cost savings using the same time budget when compared to an approach optimizing system-wide into a single destination. Chapter 4 addresses a strategic planning problem that extends the load plan design problem to consider terminal roles. We investigate two-stage approaches that first identify the set of transfer terminals and then develop the corresponding load plan. Computational results compare the terminals chosen as transfer facilities from the proposed integer programming based local search method with a traditional hub location formulation and a simple facility location formulation to depict the benefits gained from modeling additional information. The key contributions of this section are (1) the introduction of a new hub location problem variant incorporating freight dispatch timing and trailer transportation cost characteristics found in the LTL trucking industry and (2) a solution approach utilizing IP-based local search that demonstrates the importance of incorporating freight dispatch timing. Finally, Chapter 5 summarizes the main conclusions from this dissertation and discusses directions for further research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem definition: Shipment consolidation is commonly used to take advantage of the economies of scale by avoiding some of the shipping costs. However, when pending current orders are consolidated with future orders it may require more expensive expedited shipment in order to meet shorter deadlines. In this paper, we study the optimal consolidation policy focusing on the trade-off between economies of scale and expedited shipping costs. Academic/Practical Relevance: Our work is motivated by the prevalence of consolidation in the supply chain industry and also by its potential application for online and omni-channel retailing, especially with the rise of, so-called, on-demand logistic services. In such situations, sellers, have the flexibility to take advantage of consolidation, by deciding from which warehouse to fulfill the orders and also when to ship the orders, as long as the orders deadlines are met. Methodology: We use Dynamic Programming to study the optimal policy and its structure. We also conduct intensive simulation tests to show the good performance of heuristics which we proposed based on structures of the optimal policy. Results: The optimal policies and their structures are characterized in settings with up to two warehouses, where the impact of expedited shipment on both shipping policy and order fulfillment policy are explored. Utilizing the insights of these structural properties, two easily implementable heuristics are proposed, which perform within 1-2% of the optimal in intensive numerical tests. Managerial Implications: Despite the complexity of the actual optimal consolidation policy, sellers can apply the two simple heuristic policies we proposed to get near-optimal performance in various cases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you interested in working from home by starting a profitable freight brokerage business? Do you want a done-for-you guide from start to finish that brings you closer to your dream of becoming a successful freight broker? If this is you, then read on… In today’s world, the freight brokerage industry is growing continuously and it is very rewarding to become a freight broker if you build upon the right foundation. For instance, a freight broker can profit anywhere between 10% and 35% per any shipment they handle. Starting out at first could fetch you around $100 to $500 per shipment. Upon building professional networks and having some solid experience to go with it, you could earn as much as $5,175 for every shipment. Multiplying this value with the number of shipments handled per day can be astonishing! However, the reason most new freight brokers fail to succeed is because they lack proper knowledge and understanding of the business and what they hope to achieve. Before commencing a new freight brokerage business, you have to take into account several factors, one of which is getting educated. This is likely the most critical factor to consider when starting your brokerage business. The key to success is knowledge and to be successful, you must be well-informed about the freight moving industry. Asides from knowledge, you must be ready to build your network of shippers and carriers, as well as being ready to take on any financial obligations of the business, and several others The reason why I have written this book, The Freight Broker Book, is to demystify the complexities you will face as a new freight broker and to educate you on the ins and out of how to run a successful freight brokerage business from start to finish. Below is a snippet of what you will learn; · How to get the right training and experience to aid your journey to become a freight broker. · Choosing the right legal framework for your business. · How to develop a solid business plan that attracts investors and for easy access to loans. · Finding carriers and shippers for your business. · The essential paperwork and documentation to maintain and key points to note while at it such as carrier-broker agreement, bill of lading, load confirmation, rate agreement, etc. · Fulfilling the legal requirements to function as a freight broker such as your operating authority, processing agents, surety bond or trust fund, etc. · How to narrow down your target market audience for the best possible results in your business. · How to operate your business smoothly and get it going as well as handling problems you will encounter. And a whole lot more! This book, written in an easy-to-understand style with little to no technical jargon is a must-have for every freight broker, especially if you are justing starting out.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the time-worn traditions of the transportation industry, ship pers and carriers regard one another as enemies. There is, to be sure, a certain degree of validity to such a viewpoint. An element of conflict will naturally be present in any vendor-purchaser relationship. The two, after all, are seeking distinctly different things from that relationship; and to a con siderable extent each party's success in realizing its own goals must be achieved at the expense of the other. At the same time, however, viewing that relationship as strictly zero-sum-a gain by one side always resulting in an equal and offsetting loss by the other-is a gross misconception. It overlooks the key reality that, no matter which party comes closest to its own objectives, the relationship, and the business transactions that flow from it, must ultimately benefit both. Without that level of mutual benefit the relationship will simply not exist (or will soon founder if it somehow does come into being); for it is only the self-interest of the two parties that impels them to establish and continue that relationship at all. In transportation, however, this element of mutuality-the attitude that the parties share a common interest in nurturing their relationship-is often forgotten. Instead of working to gether as, fundamentally, partners in a business transaction from which both expect to derive gains, they dedicate the bulk of their energies to fighting, rather than cooperating, with one another.
