Achieving end-to-end supply chain visibility has always been (and remains) a top priority for companies, but over the past few years, the spotlight has been on a particular segment of the process: achieving real-time freight visibility.

By Steve Banker July 24, 2017 Companies love benchmarking data. Its use helps “appropriately” reward managers and line level employees, set tactical improvement targets, and even drive strategic initiatives.

A local dumbbell is a roundtrip where the pick up point is near the driver's home, and the delivery destination is close enough that the driver can reload and return home on the same day. The goal is to turn this roundtrip into a dedicated, routine route, so the driver gets home every night.

So why are you spending so much time trying to make the impossible real?
