Shipper’s associations • Nonprofit basis • Designed to perform services similar to those of freight forwarders • Act as a single shipper in order to obtain volume rates Transport Fundamentals
Transportation agencies2 3. Transport brokers bring shipper and carriers together by providing timely information about rates, routes, and capabilities. Transport Fundamentals
Small-shipment service Parcel post – U.S.A. Postal service - United Parcel Service (UPS) - Federal Express (FedEx) specialize in small-shipment services. Transport Fundamentals
TR=P*Q $ ownership; make TVC=FC+V*Q Contract; buy BEP FC Q Company-controlled transportation1 • Company ownership of equipment or contracting for transportation services. • Break–even analysis. Transport Fundamentals
Company-controlled transportation2 • Shipping volume is high • Special requirements • Fast delivery with very high dependability • Special equipment not generally available • Special handling of the freight • A service that is available when needed Transport Fundamentals
Transport cost characteristics • Fixed cost:roadway acquisition, maintenance terminal facilities, transport equipment, carrier administration. • Variable costs(line-haul costs):fuel, labor,equipment maintenance, handling, pickup and delivery. Transport Fundamentals
Transportation rates 1.Volume-related rates 2.Distance-related rates a.uniform rates b.proportional rates c.tapering rates d.blanket rates 3.Demand-related rates See Box6.5 Example. Transport Fundamentals
Volume-Related Rate • Quote directly on the quantity shipped. • Small shipment: minimum charge or any-quantity (AQ) rate. • Large shipment (less than a full-vehicle-load quantity): less-than-vehicle-load • Large shipment( equal or exceed the designated vehicle-load quantity): vehicle-load rate. • Quote a shipper special rates on particular commodities. (high volume) Transport Fundamentals
Distance-Related Rates — Uniform Rates • When the delivering cost are not distance related. Transport Fundamentals
Distance-Related Rates — Proportional Rates • This method does adversely discriminate against the long-haul shipper in favor of the short-haul shipper. • Terminal charges are not recovered on the short haul. • Truckload rates can have this characteristic because handling costs are minimal. Transport Fundamentals
Distance-Related Rates — Tapering Rates • A major reason for this shape is that with increased distance of the shipment, terminal costs and other fixed charges are distributed over more miles. Transport Fundamentals
Distance-Related Rates — Blanket Rates • Single rates that cover a wide area at the origin, destination, or both. • To meet the rates of competitors and to simplify rate publications and administration led carriers to establish blanket rate structures. Transport Fundamentals
