Economics, Pricing & Analysis
Carrier Benefits
The book provides simple and fundamental explanations of all the key pricing variables such as length of haul, cycle time, utilization, empty miles and revenue per mile. These straightforward discussions will enhance any carrier's understanding of these critical network concepts.
The book also covers dedicated pricing and semi-dedicated pricing in great detail. Carriers interested in expanding into true dedicated operations will be well-prepared to enter this market with competitive pricing after carefully reviewing the chapters on dedicated fleet pricing and design.
Even the most experienced dedicated carriers will benefit from the analysis of the operating ratio pricing approach in Chapter 10. The chapter explains why a simple cost-plus pricing approach is severly flawed and results in very inaccurate pricing.
The four detailed case studies in Chapter 14 tie all the pricing and analysis concepts together in these real-world bid response examples. The case studies cover both one-way pricing and dedicated fleet pricing scenarios.
