Dedicated logistics, also known as dedicated freight logistics, means that freight logistics companies use their own large trucks, express trains or airline resources to transport goods to their dedicated destinations. Generally, there are own subsidiaries or cooperative business outlets at the destination, so that large trucks can have sufficient supply of goods when traveling back and forth. It means that each freight logistics company uses its own large trucks to transport goods to its exclusive line destination . Usually it has its own subsidiary at the destination. Such large trucks have sufficient supply of goods to and from.
The purpose of opening a dedicated line is to save costs, but it must be established under the premise of sufficient business volume, otherwise it will lose money. Therefore, the time for a dedicated line company to go is generally uncertain, and the goods go by truck, and the customer's transportation cost Fees will also be reduced. The advantage of special line logistics is that the transportation cost is low and the timeliness is strong. Today's freight logistics line is very conscious of time, and all dispatches are carried out on a regular basis, which can deliver urgent goods.
1- Composition
The main components of the dedicated line are cargo terminals, dedicated line trucks, drivers and information interactive systems.
2- Advantages and disadvantages
The purpose of the dedicated line is to better save costs, but it must be established under the premise of sufficient business volume, otherwise it is likely to lose money. Therefore, the time for a dedicated line company to go is generally uncertain, and the goods go by truck. Transportation costs will also be reduced accordingly. The main advantage of special line logistics is that the transportation cost is relatively low, and the disadvantage is that the time of road transportation of large trucks cannot be determined, and the urgent cargo requirements can be met according to the airline transportation or subcontracting business process.
3-Direct business process
It means that the dedicated line logistics company only collects the goods on the starting and ending point line, so as to give full play to the advantages of its own dedicated line, and at the same time support the business process of the direct sales network. For example, the Xi'an Huitailang freight logistics line directly manages the special line transportation to Beijing, Shanghai and other cities, and only contracts the goods to the corresponding destinations, so that it is convenient to show the advantages of the special line according to the price advantage and service level.
4- Subcontracting business process
If a special line company contracts goods from other destinations, they will sell this business to other logistics companies for transportation, so as to increase operating profits and give full play to the advantages of familiar competitive logistics companies. Advantages, give full play to the advantages of joining forces.
Relatively speaking, there are fewer business outlets in areas where special-line logistics arrive, and more business outlets in areas where non-dedicated-line logistics arrive. The price of the former is cheaper than that of general freight logistics, and the ability to resist risks is a little smaller. The price of the latter is relatively high. The ability to resist risks is slightly stronger. General freight logistics companies have business outlets all over the country, and they mainly operate based on the sales and subcontracting method.
5- Dedicated line steps
Dedicated line logistics is actually through transportation, which is direct transportation from one city to another city. Corresponding to dedicated line transportation is transfer transportation. All transportation companies must have dedicated line transportation. The workflow is roughly as follows:
Taking orders (recording customer and cargo information, road production scheduling and transportation, air cargo and ocean booking);
Pick up and ship the goods (comprehensive vehicle, or determine the aircraft cabin);
In-transit tracking (driver feedback mechanism, air waybill inquiry, delivery feedback);
Arrival inspection (handover of goods delivery, feedback to customers);
Accounting and settlement (according to the mutual agreement or contract, the freight logistics company will pay the transportation fee to the carrier, and the step will be completed after the settlement is completed)
