 Rail  St. Lawrence Seaway  Makes an economic, social, and political impact SCM 5000 Key Stakeholders (Roles) in Transportation  Shipper (supplier, consignor, origin)  Shipment originates here  Customer (consignee, destination)  Shipment ends here  Carriers & Agents  Carrier: transportation organization providing service  Common carriers provide service to general public; private carriers provide service to own organization  Agents: Brokers & Freight Forwarders  3 rd Party Providers (3PLs)  Other stakeholders:

 Government  Public SCM 5000 Macro – economic concepts …  Aggregate Demand:

 For long range planning and strategic decision making, economists and governments sometimes use Aggregate Demand measured in ton -miles or tonne -kilometres for freight  Aggregate Demand = ∑ shipment weight x distance carried  Price versus Demand:

 Overall Aggregate Demand influenced little by price  Broader economic factors (growth, recession) tend to determine the overall demand for transportation services  But choice of mode and carrier is influenced by price (price elastic) and service (same price but better service) SCM 5000 What factors influence transportation economics?  Distance  Weight  Density  Stowability  Handling  Liability  Market  Season + Weather + Geography Here’s two situations:

1) Shipping pallets of canned soup from Toronto to Montreal 2) Shipping hand -made guitars from St. John’s, Newfoundland to Dawson City, Yukon How would these economic drivers impact the costs of these two moves? SCM 5000 Costs in Transportation:  Fixed:

 Infrastructure, equipment and assets; e.g., vehicles, tracks, terminal buildings, etc.  Administrative overhead  Semi -variable:  Vehicle maintenance  Licenses and regulatory fees  Variable – costs which vary directly with distance & time:

 Fuel  Labour SCM 5000 Each transportation mode has different service characteristics:  Transit time … time from origin to destination  R eliability … consistency of transit time  A ccessibility … ability to serve the origin/destination  C apability … ability to meet the needs of the freight/shipper  S ecurity … loss and damage Let’s discuss the implication of each characteristic on:

1) Inventory levels 2) Transportation costs 3) Customer service SCM 5000 Selecting transportation mode is part of a trade – off decision … But optimizing the supply chain is not a simple task Source: © 2013 Establish, Inc.; The Establish Davis Logistics Cost and Service Database, August 26, 2013 Taken together = Total Cost Supply Chain decisions = trade -offs44% 22% 23% 6% 4% Transportation Warehousing Inventory Order Entry / Customer Service Administration SCM 5000 Let’s consider a Total Cost Analysis  Total Cost = All Supply Chain Costs taken together  Optimizing supply chain = best solution (not the cheapest)  Progressive levels of optimization: “Level 3” requires collaboration across the supply chain.

Please remember you’re working in a live document that multiple users will be working in. 2. Adjust ONLY the slides assigned to your group 3. Do not apply a ‘theme’ as this will adjust everyone’s slides 4. You may add slides to the presentation if you need more room to explain your term 5. Have fun! Work together, Listen to each other, be respectful and inclusive 🙂 6. Use your textbook and/or internet sources to figure out and define your term Group 1 – TOFC vs COFC TOFC : Trailer on Flatcar ( Piggyback) : Usually used for transporting cars. COFC : Container on Flatcar : Saves more space, More Efficient, less fuel used, more revenue loads in a given train length, less wear and tear on track, etc. Issue with COFC: Height Clearance (E.g North America) Two successive modes (rail, road, water, air) in boxes placed on flatcars Different mechanism is required. Group 2 – Unit Train (Mete-Darshana-Ahmed-Anurag) A unit train, also called a block train or a trainload service, is a train in which all cars carry the same commodity and are shipped from the same origin to the same destination, without being split up or stored en route. – All wagons should carry same commodity – Commodities are shipped from same origin to one destination. – A unit train is generally defined as a train of 100 or more rail cars. – Directly connected to the road and internal waterway transport systems. – Trains move as a single unit and are not re-classified or broken apart until delivered to the final customer. Unit trains includes: ● Frac sand trains ● Grain trains ● Auto trains ● Potash trains ● Lumber trains ● Crude oil trains Group 3 – Switching (SwitchYard) It is a series of tracks in a rail network for storing or loading and unloading rail vehicles and locomotives. Unloading is to be done specified lines. Let’s say, a train full of Oil is moving from Toronto to Vancouver but we need to divide that and send half of it to Prince George. There would be a yard where the unloading happens. Rerouting purpose Group 4 – Drayage Drayage shipping is generally a short run from the rail siding into a warehouse. The term originally meant to transport by a sideless cart or dray. Companies that provide drayage shipping are usually a specialized carrier that has the equipment to move a container from the train to the chassis in order to be trucked to the warehouse. So drayage is very important in logistics. Group 5 – Demurrage ● Definition: “Demurrage” means the charge levied for the detention of any rolling stock after the expiry of free time, if any, allowed for such detention. ● Who pays the demurrage charge: In most of the cases it’s the receiver who pays the demurrage ● Major causes of delays: 1. Delays due to incorrect documentation. 2. Delays due to late receipt of documents. 3. Delays due to loss of documents. 4. Delays due to customs clearance or cargo inspection. ● How to avoid Demurrage 1. Monitor cargo condition and quality. 2. Optimize the logistics and supply chain. 3. Assess the performance of LSPs (Logistics Service Provider) 4. Reduce inventory 5. Better trucking plan SCM 5000 Distribution 1 SCM 5000 Road Transportation Lesson 3 Truck Transportation SCM 5000 Week 2 Recap https://www.mentimeter.com/app SCM 5000 Today’s Learning Objectives • Understand trucking industry structure • Describe the characteristics of the truck mode and reasons for its selection • Discuss trends and issues • Discuss cost drivers • Do sample costing and pricing problems SCM 5000 Trucking Industry is significant to Canada’s economy … • Main mode for manufactured goods – 75% of manufactured goods are transported by truck • Ontario heavily dependent on this mode: high traffic in/out of the US: • Nearly 57% of US -Canada trade via truck mode (more imports!) • 78% of this via Ontario & Quebec border crossings • Revenue: $39.5 5 billion (2018) • 66.5M shipments (2018) • High employment – one of the most common jobs in Canada • 302,000 truck drivers ( 2018 survey) • Driver shortages and cutthroat competition Source: https://www.statista.com/topics/5047/trucking -industry -in -canada/ SCM 5000 SCM 5000 Motor carrier ownership structure • Private fleets: • Small companies for local pick -up and delivery (PUD); • Large corporations which have significant backhaul volumes, e.g. beer companies • For Hire: • Common – Required to offer services to all shippers • Contract – Does not have to serve the general public, may offer specialize equipment SCM 5000 Operational Considerations • Owner Operator • Company Driver SCM 5000 Equipment Types Many! SCM 5000 Equipment Types … Many!

• Straight truck – most common urban truck • Tractor Semi -trailer: separate tractor and trailer • Trailer lengths: 28, 40, 45, 48, 53 ft. • Max Gross Vehicle Weights depend on type of vehicle, number of axles, length of unit, time of the year For photos, see:

Why? SCM 5000 Innovation:

60 – foot trailer vs 60 – ft intermodal container SCM 5000 Innovation in trucks Volvo Develops Autonomous Vehicle Called Vera An SAE -Level -4 autonomous truck recently completed a coast -to -coast commercial freight run hauling refrigerated freight for Land O’Lakes. The 2,800 -mile, hub -to -hub trip from Tulare, California, to Quakertown, Pennsylvania, was completed in less than three days, hauling a fully -loaded refrigerated trailer of perishable cargo. SCM 5000 SCM 5000 Platooning technology – video in BB SCM 5000 Cost factors which impact the operation of truck fleets: • Fixed (low compared to rail) • Publicly owned, costs recovered by gas taxes, tolls • Terminals (LTL) • Semi -variable • Equipment (lease vs own) • Maintenance • Insurance • Licenses • Variable (>60 % ) • Employee wages and venefits ~25.3% • Payments to owner -operators ~22.1% • Fuel ~15.1% • Tolls Operating Expenses —————————– x 100 Operating Revenue OR = OR ~ .87 to .89 Source: Statistics Canada, 2019 for -hire survey, published April 2021 https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily – quotidien/210414/dq210414b -eng. htm SCM 5000 Delivery Methods • TL (Truck Load) • Point -to -point • Mainly line -haul costs only • LTL (Less Than Truckload) • Higher fixed costs; e.g., terminals • Pickup and Delivery (PUD) and line -haul cost components • Specialized – Bulk, Courier/Parcel SCM 5000 TL Rates Transportation Rates: TL • $ per mile/km • In practice, most often quoted per load: $ for 53’ from A to B. • Additional charges for “extra” services, fuel surcharge, etc. LTL Rates – need to review Truck Utilization Concepts: When is a truck considered full? • Weigh -out: • Load to maximum allowable weight • Cube -out: • Load to total available volume without exceeding weight limit; most common • Maximize utilization by mixing heavy and light goods: • Example: floor tiles & carpets SCM 5000 LTL Rates • $ per CWT (hundred weight or 100lbs) by freight class based on shipment weight • Types of commodities affect rates → Freight class • Freight Class is defined by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) • Depends on Weight, storability, handling & liability also used to classify products. • To obtain a price quote you will need your freight class. • See page 164 – 167 in SCM Text Volume 1 for example. Transportation Rates: LTL E.g. class 50 – Clean Freight – Fits on standard shrink – wrapped 4X4 pallet, very durable – cheapest SCM 5000 Example: LTL Rate Table • Stroh, Michael B. The Class Rating System Retrieved from: http://www.logisticsnetwork.net/articles/Class Rating System.pdf SCM 5000 LTL Pricing characteristics:

• The price per cwt decreases as your shipment size increases. Cheaper per pound to ship a 6,000 lb shipment than a 1,000 lb shipment. • Break weight concept : as your shipment size gets closer to the next rate category, it is cheaper to “bump” your shipment up to the minimum of the next category. • Normal pricing assumes a standard density for the shipment: 10 lbs /cubic foot (This may vary by carrier) . For pricing calculations, the higher of actual weight or volume weight applies. This concept is sometimes referred to as chargeable weight or dimension weight. • Calculate pseudo -weight by multiplying cu.ft . by 10 and compare with actual weight. Use the higher of the 2 to calculate freight charge . SCM 5000 Sample Break Weight Calculation Weight (lb) 500 -999 1000 -1999 2000 -4999 >5000 Rate ($/cwt) $21.00 $19.00 $17.50 $16.00 ◼ Break weight calculation:

Break Weight (lbs.) = Min Weight For Lower Rate x (the Rate for Higher Weight / the Rate for Lower Weight) ◼ Break Weight = 1000 lb x ($19.00 / $21.00) = 905 lb ◼ Advantageous to rate your shipment at 1000 lb if it is greater than 905 lb ◼ 906 lb/100 x $21.00 = $190.26 > 1000/100 x $19.00 = $190.00 SCM 5000 Both TL and LTL Pricing is influenced by many factors:

• Commodity (Freight Class for LTL) • Dimensions • Weight • Distance • Fuel Surcharge • Services provided (loading, stairs, distance to dock) • Wait times (pickup, delivery, border crossing) • Headhaul only, backhaul available • Transit time • Team trucking • LTL over the road • LTL using rail intermodal • Competition SCM 5000 What might be the implication of chargeable weight and weight breaks in “real life”?

• Shipment planning: • Order consolidation to achieve increased shipment size • Rate shopping and carrier comparison • Product, packaging and unit load design: • Minimize awkward shape / cube SCM 5000 Comparison with Other Modes • Best for “accessibility” • Fastest for distances of less than 500 miles (800 km) • Lower TL minimum weight requirements than rail, water • Smoother ride (less damage) than rail, water • High reliability • High security • Capability • Limited for weight, size SCM 5000 Mode Comparison Water Rail Truck Air Pipeline Investment + Assets Operating Costs Rates Transit Time Reliability Capability Accessibility Security LOW – MED – HIGH – HIGHEST SLOWEST – SLOW – MED – FAST – FASTEST LOW HIGH MED FAST HIGH HIGHEST HIGHEST MED HIGH LOW LOW MED MED HIGH MED MED SCM 5000 Current issues affecting the Truck mode… 1.
