Detention Time Is Money: How to Extract Greater Upside in a Super-Hot Market

Studies conducted over the last two decades tell us detention plays a major part across a variety of critical industry issues.

The transportation industry is fresh off its highest peak in more than 10 years. As great as that may sound, it uncovered a difficult capacity problem. When bumping into the upper limits of what carriers can handle, the easy thing to do is throw more money at the problem. However, when the market comes back to earth, carriers will be stuck holding the bill for surplus resources and find themselves facing the new challenge of cutting costs.

This white paper from Spireon examines ways to combat detention by understanding its impact on driver safety and retention and looks at smarter detention management solutions to alleviate bottlenecks.
