Capacity planning doesn’t get any easier at this time of the year. After a strong 2022 (where Houston TX ports set new container records), Carrier Logistics Managers, and Dispatchers of intermodal trucking services Texas, may be turning their attention to a well-deserved time off. Where does that leave you with capacity planning through the balance of 2022 and the first part of 2023? Here are some thoughts:
Consider reaching out to your carrier’s logistics management and discussing available capacity for the next five to six weeks. Remember, truckers need time off, equipment needs maintenance, and dispatchers have holiday plans as well! Late planning is better than no planning at all, though.
If you have consistent volume, but don’t have the consistent capacity, consider partnering with an Asset Based Carrier that can handle your capacity. When Carriers are able to plan around volume, they can invest in equipment and resources, and this helps you maintain the capacity you need to run your business.
