INCREASED PROFITS THROUGH FREIGHT CLAIM REDUCTION

A technique of managing Cargo Loss Reduction Programs, stressing the profit motivation is presented. The key feature of the technique is periodic review and evaluation by comparing results (profits) to stated goals. The technique requires only financial and freight claims data available within most companies. Although the examples chosen are for trucking companies, the methodology is applicable to any transportation company.
