Supply Chain Models: Logistics Domestic Transportation Systems Dr. John Vande Vate
Outline • The big picture • Carriers: • TL & LTL • Inland Waterways and Intercoastal Waterways • Railroads • Air cargo • Shippers: • Send goods • Consignee • Receives the goods
Transport in the Supply Chain RetailStores Warehouses Cross-docks DCs Cross-docks Suppliers Manufacturers Customers Transportation, Distribution Intra-facility Transportation
Integrated Transportation andInter-modal Services • Multi-modal transportation • Ocean transportation typically involves rail and trucking • Rail transportation typically involves trucking • Air cargo typically involves trucking
Project Inter-modal ExampleChina to New York Chinese Factory Port in China Store Port of Long Beach NY DC Cross Dock

TL Background Information • No barrier to entry • 500,000 interstate carriers • 80% operate 20 or fewer trucks • 72% operate 6 or fewer trucks • Industry issues • Fragmentation • Severe competition • Very low margins • High fuel cost, fuel surcharge • Driver shortage and high turnover
TL Background Information • Types of carriage • Irregular, dedicated, continuous • Head-haul, backhaul • Multi-stops • Top carriers • Schneider National • J.B.Hunt • M.S.Carriers • Werner Enterprises • Swift Transportation
Truckload Topics • Freight acceptance and solicitation • Drop and swap • TL economics 101 • Pricing of services
Truckload Booking ProcessLoad Acceptance Composite score Accept load Reject load Load profitability
Contract compliance Customer importance Equipment and driver availability at origin Equipment and driver needs at destination Execution difficulty: Windows for pickup and delivery Equipment requirements Dock doors compatibility Special handling requirements Team operation Composite Score Factors
Drop and Swap • Why drop and swap • Duty hour problems • Missing service • Emergency driver requests Calculations for drop and swap opportunities
TL Economics 101 • Cost breakdown • Fixed • Variable Trailer Tractor • Fixed cost is allocated on a time basis • Variable cost is allocated on a mileage basis
Tractor/Trailer OperationFixed Costs • Tractor and trailer depreciation and interest • Tractor: $80,000, 7 years, 20% salvage, 8% interest • Trailer: $20,000, 12 years, 25% salvage, 8% interest • Driver compensation • Base compensation: $45,000 (first) • Base compensation: $35,000 (second) • Fringes: 25% • Nights out: $35 per night out • Tags, taxes, licenses • $3,000 per year
Tractor/Trailer OperationFixed Cost Summary Annual costs 50 WEEKS PER YEAR Single operation • Annual cost: $75,213 • Weekly cost: $1,504 • Plus $35 per night Double operation • Annual cost; $118,963 • Weekly cost:$2,379 • Plus $70 per night
Tractor/Trailer OperationVariable Cost Summary • Fuel and oil cost • Fuel and oil cost per gallon $ 1.68 • Fuel efficiency in miles per gallon 6 • Fuel and oil cost/mile $ .28 • Tractor and trailer maintenance • Maintenance cost per mile $ .06 • Tires cost per mile $ .04 • Total variable cost per mile $ .38
Over the Road Tractor/Trailer Cost Example San Jose, CA Nashville, TN Atlanta, GA 8,000 10,000
Over the Road Tractor/TrailerScheduled Arrivals and Departures Schedule for a Single Driver
Over the Road Tractor/Trailer Estimated Cost • Trip represents a full week (5 days) • Fixed cost = $1,504 • Nights out cost = 5 X $35 = $175 • Variable operating cost = $ .38 X 2,514 = $ 955 • Total trip cost = $ 2,634 • Cost per mile = $ 1.05 • Consider an incremental positioning cost
Pricing of TL Transportation Services Gross margin 20% 25% 30% Charge per trip 3,293 3,512 3,763 Charge per mile 1.31 1.40 1.50 Per mile & stop-off charge 1.27 100 1.36 100 1.46 100
LTL Transportation Background • LTL trucking requires a large investment in facilities • Few major national and regional carriers • For national carriers, tendency for smaller number of facilities • Interlining traffic to gain geographical coverage at the required service frequency • Relatively stable driver workforce • Major players: • Roadway Express • Yellow • CNF • American Freightways (FedEx) • Arkansas Best • U.S. Freightways
LTL Transportation Background • Typical shipments vary in size from 100 to 10,000 pounds • Going directly from shipper to consignee is not economical • Shipments are typically transported via a hub and spoke system: • Shipper to origin spoke (satellite terminal) • Origin spoke to origin hub (breakbulk terminal) • Origin hub to destination hub • Destination hub to destination spoke • Destination spoke to consignee
LTL Hub and Spoke NetworkShipper to Consignee Consignee Shipper
Hub Operations • Receiving spoke and hub loads • Freight breakdown and sorting • Relays • Outbound load buildup • Sending satellite and hub loads • Local pickups and deliveries

Impact of Rail • Carries more than • 40% of nations intercity freight • 70% of automobiles from domestic mfgs • 64% of nations coal • 40% of nations grain • Class 1 rail freight volume in 1998 was 1.38 trillion ton-miles • Intermodal volume (trailers & Containers) has nearly tripled in the past 20 years
Major Railroads • Norfolk Southern • CSX • Burlington Northern Sante Fe (BNSF) • Union Pacific • Canadian Northern (CN) • Canadian Pacific (CP)
General Freight Trains • Averages • 69 cars • 2660 tons • 21 miles per hour • Sorted at Hump Yard or Switch Yard • Local railroad picks up and delivers
Unit Trains • Sufficient volume for dedicated power • Coal and Grain • Long, slow, heavy • No switching
Intermodal Trains • Types • Trailer on Flatcar (TOFC) • Double Stack • Roadrailer • Triple Crown • Scheduled • Estimated 9 trillion containers and trailers loaded on intermodal trains in 2000
Air Cargo Background • International air freight is 16 million tons • 2% of total tonnage but 33% of value traded • Annual traffic growth rate is 7.5% • Robust growth due to: • Just-in-time manufacturing and retailing • Strong China growth • Improvement in Asian crisis markets • Air cargo key commodities are electronics, perishables, fashion apparel, and live animals
