Abstract

This project compares planned truckload procurement to executed truckload procurement using shipment transactions from 2006 to 2008. The research suggests that matching between the two occurs in less than 10% of the lanes and overspending occurs in more than 50% lanes. This research proposes strategies to reduce truckload procurement to help shippers avoid "planning to waste."
