    Rule 10: Set Goals and Measure
    Apr 9 2025
    Goal setting and measurement are something you see from day 1 in transportation. The Rule to follow in general has been for dry van and refrigerated truckloads is 2,500 miles per week, $750 revenue per day and less than 10% deadhead. These goals seem universal and are the same ones the author used to help organizations measure organizational efficiency using Business Intelligence and other methods.

    Rule 9 Always Follow Up
    Apr 5 2025


    Always follow-up and know where things in your life are because chances are if you do not know, no one else does.

    Rule 9 is an essential Rule in life and transportation because this Rule applies to every aspect of someone's life. Knowing where your drivers are is one of the first things a person learns when working in transportation. The reasoning is that drivers are very unpredictable. Everyone finds this out relatively quickly because you have a customer or an internal employee call you, and the driver is 300 miles out still with a late delivery.
