How to improve delivery efficiency for trucking companies in Canada?

Efficiency in the delivery of shipment is of paramount importance for transport and logistics companies. This includes delivering the shipment not only on time but also in good condition. Inefficiencies can creep up due to several impediments to the delivery process. Identifying these impediments and finding their solution is the key to increasing your delivery efficiency. In this blog, we are going to talk about the steps you can take to improve your delivery efficiency.

They are as follows:

1.  Measure the data for key metrics

Maintaining a statistical approach to service delivery is key to improving its efficiency. Such data may be maintained for a specific time such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc. This data will point out the necessity for innovation in the delivery process. Some of the parameters for which these data need to be measured are – the number of timely deliveries, average time per delivery, the average cost per delivery, the net number of deliveries, and driver efficiency. Ajit Transport Inc, a trusted name among trucking companies in Canada, keeps tabs on the different metrics for improving delivery efficiency.

2.  Improve vehicle technology

Improvement of vehicle technology for long-distance trucking is a must for delivery efficiency. This can be done after understanding the usage pattern of the truck in the past. Regular maintenance plays a crucial role in detecting issues with the truck. Ajit Transport’s truck maintenance services deal with all kinds of issues relating to technical problems in trucks.

3.  Loading of vehicles according to delivery order

Here it is required that the delivery that is to be done first is to be loaded last. Proper planning of the routes and maps for the delivery must be made available to the driver before delivery starts. This step will help in the reduction of time of delivery.

4.  Take care of the driver’s necessity

The person playing the most pivotal role in delivery is the driver. Thus, his/her necessities should be taken care of both in the short and long term. While training them will be important to improve their effectiveness rewarding them for good work will keep them motivated.

5.  Make use of feedback

If you want to improve your delivery efficiency, taking corrective measures based on adequate feedback is the way forward. Feedback is useful in determining the suitability of a driver for a particular route, regular issues with traffic, etc.

The above-mentioned points are essential in laying down the foundation for the improvement of the efficiency of delivery for a transport and logistics company. Ajit Transport Inc uses these techniques extensively and has more methods for dealing with any possible delivery inefficiency. They have developed a robust mechanism to respond to this issue, thanks to their vast experience in trucking. Contact ATI today, for delivering your shipment!
