Thanks to tracking technologies, shippers can trace their freight at every stage of their trip. When using a TMS (transportation management system), you can have access to tracking and tracing capabilities.
Using this technology, you can monitor transportation costs, carrier performance, and market trends as you manage your supply chain. Supply chain management relies heavily on tracking shipments.
The transportation business tends to make things more complicated than they need to be. You may have come across some ambiguous terminologies used by businesses to appear more "authoritative."
The term "residential freight delivery" is one such example. You may have come across the abbreviation "RFD" on shipping websites and wondered what it stands for.
