Los Angeles, CA: Trinium, the leading provider of Transportation Management System (TMS) solutions for drayage operations in North America, and the home of your dispatch operations, has joined forces withBlueCargo, the pioneers behind the Per Diem Fighter, designed to secure empty container returns, stop the per diem clock, audit per diem bills, and facilitate real-time or historical fee recovery. Today, they are thrilled to announce this partnership aimed at integrating and monitoring all container activities and movements in real-time, including late fees, bringing users of both platforms a comprehensive back-end operational solution.
Container drayage is all about maximizing resource utilization. It's essential to deploy every truck and driver in your fleet efficiently to minimize idle time, reduce costs, and boost productivity. This not only improves your bottom line but also promotes a more sustainable and environmentally responsible operation.
Detention and demurrage (D&D) charges are financial penalties imposed on containers that are held at terminals or facilities beyond their allotted free time. These charges can have significant consequences for container drayage operators and avoiding them may not always be in your control.
For instance, a recent survey of D&D tariffs at 65 global ports reveals that 11 are still higher than 2020 levels, with seven of them located in the US. Several factors contribute to this situation, including increasing energy and labor costs, rising land expenses, and port fees. Given these challenges, it’s unlikely US port charges will return to ‘normal’ any time soon.
As our sector continues to grapple with the ripple effects of the pandemic and ongoing economic constraints, it’s clear that D&D charges have the potential to exert even more financial pressure on your business.
This is where technology plays a crucial role. By utilizing advanced software, you can expedite container movements, ensure timely pick-ups and drop-offs, and proactively manage your fleet, ultimately mitigating the impact of D&D charges on your financial performance.
With an extensive presence in every port and rail market across the United States and Canada, Trinium TMS is a comprehensive enterprise system purpose-built for modern container drayage and intermodal trucking companies.
