一、收货和发货 Receiving and shipping
1、整合小批装运Consolidate small batch shipments
Small shipments, which typically refer to shipments of goods weighing more than 150 pounds and less than 500 pounds, are one of the most challenging issues faced by transportation managers.
Small batch shipping typically refers to shipments of goods weighing more than 150 pounds but less than 500 pounds, and it's one of the most challenging issues that transportation managers face.
There are a few reasons why small shipments can be problematic. From a carrier's perspective, they may be reluctant to accept small shipments because they require more manpower, resulting in increased labor costs. In addition, some carriers believe that small shipments result in losses because the revenue from small shipments is not sufficient to cover the required costs. From a transport manager's point of view, multiple small shipments mean the need for an information system that can track the status of each shipment.

2、滞期费和滞留费Late fees and detention fees
Demurrage is a penalty paid by the shipper or consignee to the rail carrier for failing to return the occupied train wagons on time. If the shipper or consignee occupies the vessel for longer than the permissible period, the inland waterway carrier may also charge demurrage to the ship.
Demurrage is the fine that the consignor or consignee pays to the railway carrier for occupying train cars beyond the agreed time limit. Similarly, if the consignor or consignee exceeds the allowed time for using a cargo ship, inland waterway carriers can also charge them demurrage fees.
The concept of detention is basically the same as that of demurrage, but demurrage is typically used for trucking. Users of airline containers face the same charging problem. Whether it's demurrage or detention, carriers are concerned that their equipment is idle and inactive, i.e., revenue-generating assets are in a non-optimal state.
The concept of detention fees is basically the same as demurrage fees, but detention fees are usually used in truck transportation. Users of airline containers also face the same charging issue. Whether it's demurrage fees or detention fees, carriers are concerned about their equipment being idle and ineffective, meaning revenue-generating assets are not in optimal condition.
3、运输路线选择Transport route selection
Routing can be defined as the question of determining how goods are transported between origin and destination. An example of route selection is a routingguide, which provides various transport-related information (e.g., shipment preparation, freight tickets, preferred carrier lists, list of carriers used to transport goods between two points). For example, the route guide for Nordstrom, a premium U.S. department store chain, clearly outlines which distribution center serves which specific retail location.

An example of transportation route selection is a routing guide, which can provide various transportation-related information (such as shipping preparation, bill of lading, preferred carrier list, carrier list for goods transportation between two points). For example, the routing guide of the upscale American department store Nordstrom clearly lists which distribution center supplies which specific retail location.
4、货物追踪和加急运输Tracking of goods and express delivery
Cargo tracking (tracing) is the process of determining the exact location of goods as they are moving. The ability to track your shipments will have a direct impact on the expediting, the need to quickly get your goods to their final destination.
Cargo tracking is about figuring out exactly where the goods are moving. The ability to track goods will directly affect the need for expedited shipping (quickly getting the goods to their final destination).
Many carriers now have information systems that provide real-time information on the status of their shipments, and customers can track shipments faster and more conveniently by knowing the status of their shipments via the Internet and smartphones. Air freight and car carriers are the two most used modes of expedited shipping.

二、运输服务质量Transportation Service Quality
With globalization and technological changes, companies are demanding more and more quality of service, and technology is advancing so that more and more transportation managers can track cargo information directly from laptops, tablets, or smartphones.

The deregulation of economic regulations has promoted competition between carriers on prices and services, which has led to the need for companies to evaluate carrier performance. The Performance Scorecard can be used as a diagnostic tool, for example, if a carrier's performance score falls below 70%, then the carrier will be given a period of observation.
