Detention time
ELD data now shows where shippers, traffic, and other problems hold up more drivers and slow freight. It’s time to be proactive in combating detention time if fleets want to be more efficient—and safer. А simple rule that if you don’t show up 15 minutes early, you were considered late.
Detention time
Detention time strains the supply chain, impedes productivity, and can hinder safety in our industry. The truckload segment averages about 6.5 hours of drive time per day. Obviously, the first step was the data we gained from ELD for an industry filled with fabricated logs that misrepresented perfect driving days and rarely reflected reality. Now, based on ELD data alone, we can find locations that are a problem for detention time.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration seems closer to releasing yet another study related to detention time, particularly a study regarding compensation and unpaid detention time. Detention time and studies are nothing new. They have been done before and will be done again. One basically revealed the accepted amount of detention time was two hours. Eliminating or reducing detention time will get the wheels of trucks rolling.
Making better driving days, based on efficiency, productivity, and safety, is sure to ring true for people who are seeking rewarding and profitable careers. If they know a delay in the arrival of a shipment is likely to happen and relevant communication almost always is required. Detention and solving the problem always begins with you.
