AN ESTIMATE OF PICKUP AND DELIVERY STOP TIME FOR A LESS-THAN-TRUCKLOAD MOTOR CARRIER
Pickup and delivery drivers for less than truckload motor carriers spend much of their day at customers' locations. In order to effectively manage this activity and plan for an efficient operation it is necessary to estimate the time needed to perform the work. Prior studies have been limited in the number of variables used to explain the time used. This study adds a number of important new variables and provides time estimates for the activities required.
