Driver retention is an important issue for full truckload transportation carriers. It is reported that driver retention is one of the top three issues for the full truckload transportation industry. The primary reason for high driver turnover is the point-to-point dispatching system that the full truckload carriers use to satisfy the demand.

Relay network has proved substantial potential to improve driver retention in the full truckload transportation industry. But combining point-to-point dispatching and relay network into a hybrid system will produce a better performance for both carriers and drivers.

XSEED FTL is state-of-the-art optimization software for relay network design and dispatching method selection for full truckload transportation. Our optimization software minimizes total transportation and installation costs of a hybrid system combining relay network and point-to-point dispatching.

Operational constraints such as maximum driver tour length and route circuity are taken into account in our optimization software. High quality solutions for largely-sized instances are produced in reasonable times. Hybrid network configuration has fewer relay points that has other advantages over relay network-only solutions in terms of better utilization of facilities and fewer driver domiciles to handle.

Our analytics products are extremely configurable and scalable. If your organization requires customization of the optimization model to incorporate your organization’s unique performance metrics or unique business rules, our optimization experts can customize the product quickly and deliver it.
