Last-mile and carrier operations
Last-mile delivery and carrier operations: dispatch, driver safety scorecards, hiring funnels and carrier credential checks.
Last-mile and carrier operations, in plain terms.
Last-mile and carrier operations come down to four questions: who is assigned which route, whether the vehicle is ready, whether the driver is safe and on time, and whether the carrier is who it says it is. Dispatch runs on written rules, drivers see their own scorecard every week, and carrier credentials are checked before a load moves.

What the work covered

- Carrier credential checks and dual-signature bills of lading on about 120 transporter movements a week at a dealership
The deliverable.
Drivers who see their own scorecard every week, dispatch that runs on written rules, and a hiring funnel measured at every step.
No surprises.
What is chain-of-custody documentation?+
A record of who held a vehicle or load at every handoff, in what condition, and when. In vehicle transport it is a bill of lading signed by both parties at pickup and at delivery.
What is a bill of lading?+
The contract and receipt for a shipment. It lists what was picked up, its condition, who carries it and where it is going.
