Peak seasons, like the holidays, always bring unique challenges to the logistics industry—delayed shipments, increased costs, and higher customer demands. Have you implemented any tech solutions, such as route optimization tools or inventory management software, to handle the pressure?

I am well-versed in Broker TMS's. Not so much on the Carrier side. Transportation company owners with 10+ trucks. Whats your fav. TMS?

What TMS system is everyone using? What other tech systems do you use? What were the features you liked that sold you on the system? What are some features you wish you had with your system?

I've found these sites are helpful in determining European Fuel, checking for a carrier's SCAC, checking time zones, and looking up D&B numbers: European Commission Weekly Oil (Fuel) Bulletin: energy.ec.europa.eu/data-and-analysis/weekly-oil-bulletin_en Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) Lookup: https://scaccodelookup.com/scac-name-lookup/ Quick Time Zone Reference: https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ DUNS Number Lookup: https://www.dnb.com/de-de/upik-en.html

I support a Transportation Manager software, and occasionally, I'll need to reference what the U.S. Department of Energy has entered as the NAFP for the week. Again, for reference, that website is: https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/ You can calculate exactly what your FSC is going to be for any given road shipment (in North America, that is).
