Performance Scorecards – State of the Industry • Freight metrics and KPI’s are now on the C-Team (especially the CFO) agenda. Erratic fuel costs (and FSC impact on EPS), weather events (Hurricane Katrina to Polar Vortex 2014), and emergence of Supply Chain profession. • Shippers use TMS systems and 3PL relationships to generate BI reports. Rarely shared with carrier partners. • Shippers increasingly generating monthly Performance Scorecards shared with Core Carriers • Many carriers generate shipper scorecards, generally not shared with shippers • Shippers respond to data and fact based selling. TL carriers do not share industry trend / cost data as well as Rail / IM / LTL carriers. • Information sharing and a more comprehensive “network” score card could help shippers and carriers drive “network” efficiency.
Internal KPI Benchmarking KPI’s begin at a site or carrier level, then shippers want to benchmark performance across the network – by site, by carrier classification, etc.
External KPI Benchmarking 3PL’s can also provide collaborative benchmarks – across customers, by industry vertical, etc..
Carrier Merit or Award Programs Carrier Performance against established and communicated criteria are key inputs to carrier recognition programs – Carrier of the Year, Platinum carrier, etc.

USG Carrier Performance Ranking USG scorecard ranks and classifies carrier performance – Gold, Silver, Bronze. Data driven, Performance KPI’s, color coding for easy visual management.
USG Carrier Scorecard USG provides carriers data on their volume and performance.
USG Carrier Scorecard USG scorecard focuses on all areas of performance – service, claims.
USG Carrier Scorecard USG scorecard ties back to performance levels – Gold, Silver, Bronze.
USG Carrier of the Year Criteria • Carrier maintained 4 consecutive quarters of consistent certification on USGs top 30 Scorecard. (Mandatory) • Carrier hauled at least 2500 loads for USG during the year. • Carrier provided service from multiple USG shipping locations. (Mandatory) • Carrier meets annual On-Time Delivery goal for current year (96% 2014). (Mandatory) • Carrier is EPA SmartWay certified. (Mandatory) • Carrier settled 100% of their claims within 45 days during the year. (Mandatory) • 80% of Flatbed trailers used to service USG are 102” wide and able to haul 49,000 pounds. • Carrier invests in technology to allow real-time information, e.g. • EDI Capable (ability to send unfiltered data) • Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBR) • Geo Fencing
Performance Reports – TMS Carrier Portal • USG carriers have the ability to log into Transplace TMS portal • They can do this as often as desired (monthly, weekly, daily) • Three reports are available to help carriers monitor and optimize their performance • Status Updates Compliance • Shows how many of the required check calls have been entered and how timely they were submitted • Tender Acceptance • Shows the date/time a shipment is tendered, the response date/time by the carrier to accept or reject the tender, and the time difference between the two • Accept/Reject Detail • Shows the following details of any loads that weren’t accepted by the carrier: Origin/Destination, Pickup Date, and Transplace transaction number
Carrier “Shipper” Scorecards Carrier’s have “shipper” scorecards but these are generally for internal use only and not shared with the shipper.
Preferred Shipper Program Carrier’s survey responses and discussions consistently ranked economics and driver productivity as the keys to “preferred shipper” status
Are Network Scorecards in our future? Network efficiency and driver productivity (pay) is becoming the driving concern and focus for carriers. • Carriers will reward efficient shippers with capacity. • Keep the trucks and drivers moving. • 24/7 freight is very desirable • No touch, efficient freight • Keeping drivers becoming more important than finding loads. • Treat drivers with respect and as a valuable network asset. • Understand what impacts driver pay (miles per week). • Plan tender times, pick-up and delivery times to maximize miles per day. • Get drivers loaded and unloaded in target times. • Carriers want “partners at every level” • Pre-bid discussion and non-bid “”strategic lanes” • Want more flexibility “pick-up / delivery windows, equipment, etc” • Less rigid tender times, increase late day / weekend acceptance
Where is the market headed… • Will the economy shift into a higher gear with negative impacts on capacity? • Will the leverage shift from shippers to carriers? How fast? How strong? • Will shippers respond to carrier requests for changes in accessorials or modifications to drive network efficiency? • Will changes be collaborative or carrier mandates? • Can carriers negotiate changes with shippers - Some? Most? All? • Will carriers have to pursue indirect actions (swap up shippers / lanes) • Will industry “driver shortage crisis” force more collaborative network optimization?
