Let’s talk about the road lane

Overview

The road lane
is the plan that reaches the field.

FTL, LTL, the border and last mile are not left as separate jobs. They are the field layer of the same shipment.

Route, receiver window and customs data lock before loading. The border is not a surprise step.

Shipment type

FTL, LTL,
scheduled lane, border.

The model is chosen when volume and window are read together. Not every road job is a full truck.

  1. FTL

    Full truckload

    One receiver, one plan. Trailer, route and delivery window lock together.

  2. LTL

    Less than truckload

    Consolidation moves without breaking volume. The piece does not disappear inside the route.

  3. SCH

    Scheduled transport

    A repeating lane sits on the production rhythm. It is not rediscovered every week.

  4. XBD

    Cross-border

    Documents, the gate and the wait stay visible. The border sits in the middle of the lane.

Operating model

The border stays
visible, the lane calms.

Road operations are not a driver’s phone. Plan, documents and delivery stay in one language.
