WHAT IS A LOADING DOCK?

It’s a platform where the trailer get attached and that’s how the lampers can load the trail, it’s located at the
warehouses.

A lamper is a person who is in charge of loading the trail.

WHAT IF THERE ARE NO DOCKS? You use pallet jacks, lift gates or forklifts.
Pallet jack: additional part of arm of the trailer to help you put things on.

Lift gate: is a mechanical device permanently installed in the back of the truck, which is designed to facilitate the
handling of materials from ground level or a dock to the level of the vehicle's loading bed, or vice versa.

Forklifts:

When the palets


exceeds the.

YARDS AND
TRUCKSTOPS:

TRUCK STOPS: drivers can get there to rest, get some food, kind of restaurants, gas stations. the IOWA 80 TRUCKSTOP is
the largest one.

Truck stops are built for the drivers to rest, to eat, check the truck remains in good conditions and also form leisure, so
they can spend their free time there.

YARD: it’s owned by the carrier, it’s like the carrier’s parking lot where they pack and load trailers.

PARTIES INVOLVED IN LOGISTICS INDUSTRY:

ENTITIES

- Customer: then company that owns the cargo, requests and pays for the service of moving cargo from point A to
point B. They should know and provide all the information and details about the load. Their responsibilities are:
pay for everything, request the service, provide all the information.
- Freight companies: is a logistics company whose purpose is to get the customers needs and make it happen.

FTL Modality: the trailer belongs to one customer. The cargo belongs to one customer, so It is completely filled with the
cargo of this one customer.

LTL Modality: there are different customers. The trailer has cargos from different customers.

Volume: it depends on
the carrier and it refers
to the maximum weigh
allowed that the
carriers will move...?
belongs to LTL
modality with common
carriers.

Partial: it needs to
come from the same
place or nearby. It’s
use for private carriers.

44.000 pounds it is the


standar capacity of a Dry van.

The common carriers offer contracts with discounts to the 3PL. they have bigger coverage in the country. They work
with LTL modality, which means they work with multiple orders.

Private carriers: covers certain regions so they have limited coverage, prefer FTL modalities. They negotiate their rates.

The owner opperators:


SHIPPER: the location where the goods are picked up.

Packing the freight, Load the trailer, Provide the BOL

Receiver:
warehouse where they receive the freight.

HOW DOES THE INDUSTRY WORKS:

TYPES OF TRUCKS:
A reefer trail is a dry van that has a reefer unit.

- The curtain side gives the protection of a


dry van with the convenience of a flatbed
for building materials, industrial and
general cargo.
If you need to deliver something in a residencial area you can use straight trucks.
Department of transportation: regulates everything related to transportation.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS:

Gross weight = Tare (trailer vacío) + net (peso del cargo)


30 DE JUNIO

OVER THE ROAD MODALITIES

The trailer is sealed.


NMFC#: National Motor Freight Clasification. It helps you classify items that can be shipped. The NMFC code is a
designation that is used to group commodities. It enables transport companies to evaluate goods for shipment by
classifying items based on considerations such as truck fit, loading issues, handling issues, and perishability.
Commodities are grouped into one of 18 freight classes by using a range of numbers from 50 to 500.

PRO#: Progressive Rotating Order number. It’s created by the carrier.

Break Bulk terminal: es un terminal que se encuentra along the way.


DOCUMENTS AND PAPERWORK:

This document is issued/created by the shipper.

in a FTL there is no NMFC number. It’s ONLY


SHOWN with LTL.

When the receiver gets the shipment and signs


the BOL it becomes the POD.
In this case the customer signs the
POD and attaches an OSD.
Vocabulary:

Freight Broker: Work with Private Carriers and Full Truck Load (FTL) Industry. They negotiate

rates, trying to get the best one for the customer and them, they settle this by a rate agreement.

Consignee: This is the destination of the goods, they oversee the unloading of the goods and

verify there is no overages, shortages, or damages (OS&D) and sign the Proof of Delivery (POD)

The receiver is the place where the goods are delivered. Is also known as consignee or delivery location. Their
responsibilities are: Receive the freight, unload the trailer, provide the POD.

Difference between broker and 3PL?

70 hours a week.
- 11 hour driving limit: withing the 14 hours shift they can only drive up 11 hours. Every driver should go 50
miles/hour, o sea que más o menos en 11 horas debe recorrer 550 miles.
Miles per day /miles per hour(50) = días que el driver tardara

What is ELD?

An ELD (electronic logging device) is a device that is used in commercial trucks to track hours of service (HOS). ELD
technology automatically records a driver’s driving time and other aspects of their HOS records to allow for easier, more
accurate HOS recordkeeping. An ELD GPS device monitors a vehicle’s engine to capture data on:

 Whether the engine is running


 Whether the vehicle is moving
 Miles driven
 Duration of engine operation in hours
Electronic logging devices can help your delivery business by doing the following:

 Improves driver accountability


 Staying FMCSA compliant
 Increase routing and delivery efficiency
 Maintain vehicle usage
 Save money by reducing overtime
 24/7 location tracking
 Automated reporting
 Lower insurance costs

What is FMCSA?

As the lead federal government agency responsible for regulating and providing safety oversight of
commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), FMCSA's mission is to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving
large trucks and buses.

FMCSA partners with industry, safety advocates, and state and local governments to keep our nation's
roadways safe and improve CMV safety through regulation, education, enforcement, research, and
technology.

Ways the FMCSA takes preventative measures:

 Strong safety enforcement


 Identifyin the higher risk motor carriers
 Improving transportation technology
 Increasing safety awareness
 Strengthening motor carrier standards 

What are the repercussions of violating the Hours of service regulations? (HOS)

Penalties for Violating Hours of Service Rules

 Drivers may be placed on shut down (at roadside) until they have accumulated enough off-duty time to
be back in compliance.
 State and local law enforcement officials may assess fines (multas).
 The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration may levy civil penalties on a driver or carrier, ranging
from $1,000 to $11,000 per violation depending on the severity.
 A carrier's safety rating can be downgraded for a pattern of violations.
 Federal criminal penalties can be brought against carriers who knowingly and willfully allow or require
violations; or against drivers who knowingly and willfully violate the regulations.

Assess fines: decomisar la carga

Shutdown: cuando el driver está siendo negligente.

Safety department, regula las acciones del Carrier.

What is the main issue in the situation:

The driver will miss this delivery appointment since he is running out of HOS.
What are the 4 statuses a driver can have during the day?

According to the FMCSA, there are four duty status categories:

These include driving, on-duty not driving, off-duty, and sleeper berth. 

Driving, is when the car is moving over 5 mph and the ELD begins to record and transmit data. 

On-duty not driving is when the vehicle has not been in motion for five minutes in which the ELD will prompt
the driver to confirm driving status. If there is no response from the driver, however, the device will switch to
on-duty not driving. 

Off-duty should be indicated when you’re off-duty for non-driving on-duty periods, when using personal
conveyance (more on that later), or when you’re no longer performing any on-duty work. 
Lastly, sleeper berth should be used when you’re done and ready to get some rest at the end of your allotted
driving time or, really, whenever you choose to stop driving. Nonetheless, it should not be confused for off-
duty. When a driver has their status under sleeper berth, they must remain in the cab, whether they’re
sleeping or just resting. 

What are the 5 rules created by the DOT regarding the HOS?

Let’s see some of the big DOT HOS rules that all drivers need to be aware of:

1.The 14-hour rule

According to the 14-hour rule, a property-carrying driver may not drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after
coming on duty. The driver can’t resume driving unless he/she has taken 10 consecutive hours off-duty. The limit
is 15 cumulative hours for passenger-carrying vehicles.

2. The 11-hour rule

According to the 11-hour rule, a property-carrying driver can drive a maximum of 11 hours after 10 consecutive
hours off duty within the 14-hour period.

Passenger-carrying drivers can drive up to 10 hours after eight consecutive hours off duty.

3.The 30-minute break rule

The 30-minute break rule states that drivers cannot log DOT driving hours or driving time if eight hours have
passed since the last off-duty period of 30 consecutive minutes. They will have to take a break of 30 consecutive
minutes.

It is important to note that the 30-minute break rule restricts drivers from driving. They may perform non-driving
tasks after 8 hours without taking a break.

4. The 60-hour and 70-hour limit

There is a 60/70 hour limit for drivers.

According to this rule, a driver may not drive after 60 hours on duty in seven consecutive days, applicable for
carriers that do not operate every day of the week, or 70 hours on duty in eight consecutive days, for carriers that
do operate every day of the week.
The seven/eight consecutive day period can be restarted if the driver takes 34 or more consecutive hours off duty.

Brokerage
Brokarage or brokarage service is the arranging of transportation of the physical movement of a motor vehicle or
of property. Los encargados de negociar entre el customer y el Carrier (comunicación).

What is broker?
Broker means a person who, for compensation arranges of offers to arrange the transportation. Ellos buscan los
carriers.

Own assets: A company who owns the truck and act as a carrier, having availability and capacity to offer to their
customers. The carrier own their assets.

D.A.T: Provides benchmarking, forecasting, and capacity planning, it’s all founded on two fundamentals. Brokers
need trucks, and carriers need loads. It’s like a platform or load.

Brokers can offer:

- Long distances
- Involved more money
- Metro area
- Lower weights
- Short

Carrier list: Should be updated and tracked daily. Dependiendo del banco de información de la cuenta, debemos
tener una Carrier list, que es propia. Es un machete, el bróker como persona va creado y anotando las
características de cada Carrier.

The purpose of the carrier list, it’s to identify who is the best carrier for do business. This that make the load more
attractive. Time by time.

MC number, es un tipo de identificación para las compañías o un driver.


Point contact: persona de contacto, a quién tenemos que llamar.
Preferred lanes by state: carriers preferidos, a que carriers Podemos llamar a la vez.
Should include the following:

- Company
- Home base
- MC
- Contact
- Phone Number
- Email
- Lane

Why should you create a list?

 Contact
 Save time
 To compare: compare benefits, compare costs.
 Understand the rates
 More chances to cover the load
 Network – To create contracted freight
 Clear information to choose the best option

Rate
Line Haul + Fuel Surcharges

 Line Haul rates are a function of distance and the weight/volume of the cargo.
 FCS is a portion of the rate to account for the cost of fuel. FCS fluctuates based on the National Average
cost of fuel for that week.
Que hace que el load pueda costar por lo menos tanto dinero, cuales son los precios que hay.
Lo que compone un rate es

Line haul: cuanto se va a cobrar por la distancia


FCS: Fuel surcharges, el precio de la gasolina no se toma como una variación diaria si no como una variación
semanal.

How to handle a call


Dos and don’ts

Preparation
All information related to the load:
- Additional Services
- SHPR and RCVR hours
- Linear Footage (if partial)
- Type of load (FTL or Partial)
- Total weight or weight per piece.
- Origin and Destination Zip Codes.
- Day of the week shipping, specially in short runs.
- Nature of the load and special requirements such as hazmat, food grade handling, etc.
- Sense of how much are we willing to pay (total or per mile) forescasting capacity and availability of the
load.

Things that make a load more attractive

- Long runs mean more miles and more money


- Time sensitive orders will always involve more money
- Metro areas imply difficult access resulting in extra services
- Lower weight means faster runs and less likely for truck to worn out
- Short runs mean less money but more frequency and more availability
Carrier Packet
- W9:
- Agreement
- Authority or DOT permit
- NOA Notice of assignment
- Certificate of insurance

Documentation that the carrier needs to make the rate agreement.

Scenarios to avoid

No having a 2nd option.


Delaying rate confirmation and intructions
Providing inaccurate information for pickup or delivery
Miss-informing the dispatcher or missing contact information
Sending the rate confirmation without setting up the carrier first.
Appointment Setting

Tender:
The information is tender through the EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
EDI:
It is sent by PDF, Word and Email, and that information is added to the TMS (Transport Management System)
Low volume customer: tienen pocas cargas. They receive the info via phone and email.

High volume customer: receive the info through the EDI trough the EDI.

Appointment APPT: It is an specific appointment time for the driver for picking up the freight or dellivery the
goods.
And the FCSC (First Come, First Serve) is the service that has a window time between one hour to other one to
pick up or delivery the freight, but they will start depending on the time that they arrive.
TMS ID:
PU Shipping purposes: pick up number, it means that is related to the pick up location, the warehouse create that
PU.
Order number: It comes from the customer.
PO number: It comes from the Seller to the buyer.
BOL number: it comes from the shipper to the carrier.

Preloaded: Empty trailer


Live load: driver waits that the trailer is loaded.
If I have 500 boxes meaning: you can take 3 hours
to load the trailer, the best option is to use a preload trailer.

WINDOW TIME
Operation time of the facility (8AM – 3PM)
Determine: The facility offers FCFS appointments or Strict Appointments

TRANSIT TIME
The total distance (in time) from the shipper facility to the receiver location.
Determine: How many miles are from point A to point B?
How this can be converted in time?
