Truckload capacity slackened slightly in the week ending April 11 but is still much tighter than it was a year ago, according to a key measure of capacity and demand.

<div class="phx-topic">Truckload capacity slackened slightly in the week ending April 11 but is still much tighter than it was a year ago, according to a key measure of capacity and demand. The Longbow Research Weekly Trucking Barometer dropped 1.4 percent last week after shooting <a href="http://www.joc.com/trucking/index-shows-tighter-truck-capacity">up 5.9 percent the prior week</a>, the investment research firm said. The truckload capacity index has increased 47.4 percent since the beginning of 2011 and is up 46 percent year-over-year, an indication that capacity is contracting. "We continue to see relative tightness in the Southeast," Longbow said in a note to investors. The produce season has increased truck demand in that region. "The West Coast and Mountain regions have experienced a moderation in freight demand over the past month resulting in a more abundant capacity environment." The weekly index measures available freight against available truckload equipment, climbing higher as capacity contracts, the Wall Street investment firm said. Longbow's Weekly Flatbed Barometer dropped 7.6 percent last week, but remains 18.6 percent higher than a year ago and 33.5 percent above last August. Longbow and other research firms forecast increasingly tight truck capacity thanks to higher equipment costs, fuel costs, driver costs and financing costs. ACT Research, a vehicle market research firm, predicts a 75,000-truck shortfall by the first quarter of 2012, and a <a href="http://www.joc.com/trucking/180000-truck-shortfall-predicted-2012">180,000-truck shortfall by the end of next year</a>. "We are starting to accumulate a shortage of freight-hauling capacity," said Steve Tam, vice president of the commercial vehicle sector at ACT Research. That's pushing truckload spot market rates higher, according to TransCore. The trucking load board operator said dry van rates rose 4 percent in March. Year-over-year, those <a href="http://www.joc.com/trucking/spot-market-truck-rates-jump-4-percent">dry van rates were up 15 percent</a>, TransCore said. Loads posted on TransCore's boards were up 61 percent from March 2010. -- Contact William B. Cassidy at <a href="mailto:wcassidy@joc.com">wcassidy@joc.com</a>.

The Longbow Research Truckload Barometer dropped less than 1 percent this week, indicating the contraction of truckload capacity is slowing.

<div class="phx-topic">The Longbow Research Truckload Barometer dropped less than 1 percent this week, indicating the contraction of truckload capacity is slowing. Truckload capacity appears to have leveled and even loosened slightly after shrinking fast in the first months of 2011, according to the research firm's index. Since January, the index has risen 41.1 percent. The index measures available freight against available equipment, climbing as capacity contracts. Year-over-year, the barometer is up nearly 80 percent, Longbow said March 29. The index dropped to 155.1 this week from 156.4, 155.8 and 164.5 in prior weeks. Altogether, the index dropped about 5.7 percent <a href="http://www.joc.com/trucking/index-shows-truckload-demand-moderating">during March</a>. "We continue to see relative tightness in the Southeast region, where produce shipments are contributing to higher utilization rates," Longbow said. Even with the slight drop, the index is at levels not seen since the second-quarter inventory restocking surge that sparked a freight recovery in 2010. "Capacity should remain tight at least over the next several quarters," Longbow said, pushing truckload rates higher as contracts come up for renegotiation. The research firm's flatbed barometer rose 1.1 percent this week, remaining close to a two-year high. The index is up 68.5 percent from last August. -- Contact William B.

<div class="phx-topic">Diesel fuel prices fell for the seventh straight week across the United States in the week ending Dec. 21, with the national average price sliding 2.2 cents, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said. The national price reached an average of $2.726 a gallon during the week, 3 percent lower than the high for 2009 reached the week of Nov. 9. The price last week still was 35 percent higher than the year-low of $2.017 a gallon in mid-March. Oil prices on world markets have slipped back since late October, falling below $70 at one point, but prices on oil futures have recovered since then to between $73 and $75 a barrel. Diesel prices across the United States ranged from a low of $2.687 a gallon in the lower Atlantic states to a high of $2.891 a gallon in California. Prices for ultra-low sulfur diesel have also fallen for seven straight weeks, reaching a national average of $2.731 a gallon over the past week, also down 2.2 cents. </div>

Motor carrier Swift Transportation said it has named Dan Beers as executive vice president and pres

<div class="phx-topic">Motor carrier Swift Transportation said it has named Dan Beers as executive vice president and president of Swift Intermodal, and Mark Young as vice president Swift Intermodal.Both are new positions within the Phoenix-based company.Beers will report directly to Jerry Moyes, Swift's chief executive, and will be responsible for all aspects of Swift's growing intermodal business. "Dan and Mark are great additions to the Swift team," said Moyes. "Hiring executives of their caliber will enable us to broaden our transportation services. It sends a strong message to our organization, our competitors, and most importantly our customers; that Swift intends to assume a leadership role in the intermodal line of business, which has great synergy with our core dry van business." Gary Enzor, Swift's chief financial officer, said, "Intermodal provides us with a higher return on investment than other more asset-intensive lines of business and we stand ready to make the necessary investments in the required people, technology, and intermodal assets to significantly grow our $40 million intermodal base." Beers brings more than 20 years of transportation experience to his new role. He comes to Swift from Mexico's TFM Railroad, where he served as senior vice president of intermodal and automotive. Prior to that, Beers worked for the former Southern Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads. Young has held senior roles at ABF Freight Systems, CSX Intermodal, and the Hub Group, before joining The Fennimore Group last year as a senior consultant working with transportation companies. Swift said Chris Kilker, intermodal operations director, will continue to be a key member of its intermodal team, reporting to Beers. </div>

The world of LTL is slow to embrace change. Business anachronisms permeate current supply chain processes. These vestiges of the way things used to work define the LTL freight transportation procurement process of many modern shippers.David Knuth, logistics specialist at IEWC, a global supplier of cable and wire based in Wisconsin, is happy to have modernized the RFP process, automating the entire LTL bidding procedure with Bid$ense, SMC³’s automated truckload and LTL freight transportation sourcing solution. But when prompted, he can still recall what once was.In his previous job, a large part of his duties were consumed by creating an intermodal bid package for carriers. In a spreadsheet, Knuth detailed the company’s volumes lane by lane, taking care to delete any errant keystrokes or misleading data. He would then email out the information to each carrier, taking time to respond to detailed technical questions about the spreadsheet data. Finally, he had to compile all the results, create an algorithm that would compare the carriers on each lane, and award the business.“It was a huge undertaking. It took about four months to do,” Knuth said of the old process. “It was almost a full-time job for that part of the year, every year.”In his new job at IEWC, he sat down with Bid$ense on day one and was amazed at the capabilities. Knuth had never before used a bid tool. SMC³’s latest versions of Bid$ense automate the process even further, taking truckload and LTL RFPs entirely online. The tool draws on RFP best-practices protocols to streamline the bidding communication process, enabling bidding carriers to respond accurately and promptly to shipper requests. The solution also does all the distribution work automatically, electronically submitting shipper bid data to carriers based on their actual service capabilities and performance records. Carriers are alerted with timely prompts for RFP deliverables, so shippers aren’t waiting by the phone for responses.Another benefit of automating the process is the data-cleansing assistance. When Knuth sent spreadsheets to carriers, data errors might cloud the bidding process; he might have to resend data or simply accept a price that did not truly reflect the costs of doing business. Data cleansing is incredibly beneficial, he said.The spreadsheet technique also made bidding analysis an onerous task. Since Bid$ense automates and streamlines the entire RFP process, intensive examination is now simple. SMC³ knows that each bid has more than one best outcome. With uniform responses from each carrier, shippers can quickly rank results and create an unlimited quantity of what-if scenarios to make the optimal procurement decision.Jesse Burnett of Central Garden &amp; Pet experiences many of the same benefits. Founded in 1980, Central Garden &amp; Pet has spent the last three decades growing from a small garden supply company to a provider of a range of products from dog chews and bird seed to soil supplements and natural insecticides. For much of its life, the company shipped these disparate goods via LTL and truckload carriers to retailers throughout the country, relying on each business unit to negotiate directly with their freight transportation providers. This arrangement worked fairly well for a small company, but as Central Garden &amp; Pet expanded, leadership decided to consolidate decision making.Burnett helped centralize the transportation decision making in 2015 with SMC³’s Bid$ense. Before Bid$ense, every business unit operated independently as far as negotiating with carriers.“There were a lot of different things just floating around,” he said. “We didn’t have master agreements in place; no national pricing at all. The pricing from carriers was just all over the place, depending on where you were.”The transformations he saw with Bid$ense were immediate. Burnett has been using the tool about every other year since its implementation at the company. Central Garden and Pet’s $19.6 million 2019 LTL bid saved the company just more than 9 percent when compared to its historical average. For Burnett, though, bid automation extends far beyond savings.“We knew that we weren’t getting the best pricing offer from our carriers just because nothing was centralized,” he continued. “We knew that if we combined everything from all these business units and paired it with one corporate offering, then it would drive some cost benefit with it.”When the company initially decided to centralize bid procurement, executives researched a number of different methodologies and technologies. In the end, though, Burnett found that Bid$ense was both widespread and well known, and that his carrier partners already knew how to use the application. Burnett also highlighted the data-cleansing process as a major benefit, saying the rigorous process ensures that carriers always return the best price.“It definitely has helped drive savings,” he said. “Any time you go out there and you drive that competitiveness with the carriers and they know they’re in a bid environment, it seems to sharpen their pencils.”Transportation procurement is an integral part of the modern supply chain. With Bid$ense, shippers can develop a strategic implementation plan that saves them time and money, but also helps them create strong relationships with their carrier partners. These carriers appreciate the solution’s data-cleansing process; when carriers receive a complete shipment history and future volume forecast, they don’t have to guess on pricing. Carriers that receive more data from shippers get a complete picture of that shipper’s freight, allowing them to accurately plan instead of simply preparing for the worst-case scenario. Clean data presented through an automated system can lead to both bigger shipment savings and a lasting partnership between carrier and customer.Whether customers are looking to streamline over-the-road transportation bidding by automating the RFP process or create an entirely new, centralized sourcing process, Bid$ense has the analytical horsepower to get the job done.SMC³ 2020 Customer Case Study

Shippers save money, time with automated transportation bidding tools

If there’s one immutable truth in the world of logistics, it’s this: LTL is an inherently complex form of transportation. Tariffs, rates, DIM weights, transit times — it’s enough to confuse even seasoned logistics professionals. The solution to this knowledge gap has historically been on-the-job training or university supply chain education, but for a variety of reasons there is now a pressing need for third-party, remote LTL training that prepares logistics workers for transportation success. Global Scope Can Overlook Local Intricacies In the past, professionals looking to move into a supply chain career learned about the basics of supply chain from universities. However, many of these college supply chain programs are now global in scope, focusing on worldwide supply chain management instead of the intricacies of specialized domestic transportation. And even these programs, which used to be widespread, are becoming less common. LTL is not an industry of broad-brush strokes; supply chain professionals really need a pointillistic understanding of the logistics of LTL in order to excel in the industry. Accelerating Need for Dedicated LTL Education This lack of specified training put the onus on employers to prepare new hires with the LTL knowledge needed to do their jobs. Dedicated LTL study is a necessity, not a luxury. At the same time, changes in LTL and the broader supply chain world are accelerating. The reliance on e-commerce has ballooned since the start of the pandemic, and last-mile LTL shipments and related e-commerce strains on the supply chain won’t diminish once social distancing abates. That genie isn’t going back into the bottle. So supply chain employers need logistics workers that are fully versed in all aspects of the industry, ready to solve unique shipping and delivery problems based on their extensive supply chain knowledge But why care about LTL? It’s been reported that some shippers in today’s world are no longer concerned with what mode is used to ship their goods. A Multimodal Approach Ensures On-Time Delivery This mode agnosticism means supply chain stakeholders have to be well versed in all modes of transportation. As unforeseen weather events and other disruptions, such as protests, become more common, savvy logistics employees will need to be armed with familiarity of all modes, not just the most popular, to ensure that freight is delivered on time, without damage, and in the most financially expedient way possible. Offerings like SMC³’s LTL online education courses cover a wide range of topics from LTL basics and operations to more advanced concepts like pricing analytics and transportation law. The company also has plans to continually refresh content, adding new expert presenters and taking the feedback of students to make the courses even better as time goes on.
