Problems / Issues:

• High transaction volume information management dilutes capacity to process data.  

• Customer service and business growth capacity is dependent upon efficient dispatch
  of owner-operator tractors to pull shipper owned chassis and containers.

• Hand written documents promote transcription and transposition errors.

• Miscommunication and misunderstanding between dispatchers and drivers results in
  load/trip start/stop issues.

• Excessive and under utilization of equipment with resulting maintenance issues.

• Data entry staff required to input transaction data.
