  • Understanding detention times and how best to deal with them

    Mary O’Connell - Check Call Community Host - FreightWaves - St. Louis, MO

    Today we are joined by Kevin Nadeau – Founder & President, True Load Time

    1. What are some common misconceptions or misunderstandings that shippers might have regarding detention times?
    2. How can carriers and shippers work together to bridge these gaps in understanding?
    3. Are there certain industries or sectors where detention time issues tend to be more prevalent?
    4. How can shippers in these sectors take proactive steps to address these challenges and enhance their relationship with carriers?
    5. Do you still see long detention times with a drop trailer program?
    6. If you’re a brokerage with a shipper that is known to be a slow loader/unloader, does it fall on the brokerage to try and help that shipper improve their wait times?
    7. In the context of detentions, how important is data sharing and transparency between carriers and shippers?
    8. How can both parties collaborate to gather and analyze data to identify areas for improvement and track progress over time?

    14. Rail earnings and Limited rail asset liability

      Harris Ligon - CEO - Telegraph - Chicago, IL

      1. Earnings: Many contingencies: reliance on volume, steady-state employment, and improved service product. Much remains to be seen if revenue can perform well even against tough comparables. 
      2. Limited rail asset availability: Comparing this to a period of airliner rationalization during COVID; reducing available, worn railcar capacity for scrap and more discipline regarding future orders. Big implications for automakers
      3. Service performance remains steady: Despite a recent downtick WoW in train speeds across most rail networks, we are seeing fairly normalized railcar cycle times and intermodal unit availability. This isn’t to say every railroad is meeting its published schedules - just that the performance is normalized.
