the delivery point of a recurring order changes every time, but all of the order parameters stay the same, even though the delivery location changes. Allowing partial information on certain Recurring Order Templates and allowing users to fill in the information at the time of dispatch, instead of forcing changes each time, will save your users the time and added keystrokes during dispatch.
Truck Order Not Used
One of the most common accessorial charges in trucking is “Truck Order Not Used” (TONU), which is applied when a carrier pickup is requested, only to have the shipment cancel because no freight is available, or the requested equipment is no longer needed. This common TONU charge to the customer allows the carrier to record a lost opportunity and begin to recover revenue spent getting their truck to the shipper, then repositioning the empty truck. The task is amplified when the steps to cancel the order, bill the customer for time, possibly pay the driver, and reassign the truck and driver to a new load are each manual steps.
As part of Version 21.1, McLeod Software has simplified this sometimes cumbersome and tedious process with a single screen. A new function on the same dispatch screen will cancel the order, bill the customer for the unused truck using an accessorial charge, create a pay record if the driver needs compensation, and create an empty movement to assist
14
with repositioning the truck on the next load, all within one function. Your planners and dispatchers will certainly want to get access to this new capability in Version 21.1.
Recurring Order Enhancements
Another Version 21.1 enhancement will help you save time by creating a Recurring Order from an existing or previously shipped order. In the past, the complete order information may not have been available, or users did not recognize a
e ent
particular order could be created as a Recurring Order Template during dispatch. Allowing users to quickly create a Recurring Order Template from any existing order saves keystrokes and time by using existing data in that order to populate all of those needed fields. Additionally, the requirement for manually populating certain fields on the Recurring Order Template have been removed to save valuable time. For example, say
McLeod Anywhere Driver App
The driver shortage is as real as it has ever been, and carriers are looking for ways to better serve their best drivers and stay connected in ways that help the driver do their job. The McLeod Anywhere Driver App has more functions and tighter
