Who is Xenon? 5 Ways We Simplify First- and Final-Mile Freight

  Our hope with this blog is to provide practical freight insights—and a closer look at how Xenon’s portal, people, and network help shippers move more freight and more shipments. Xenon's parent company, The Triangle Group, helps make this possible. Drayage may be short. The workflow around it is not. A container’s trip between a port or rail ramp and its next stop may cover only a few miles, but the work surrounding that move can include carrier sourcing, rate comparison, compliance checks, appointment coordination, equipment matching, tracking, document management, exception handling, and invoice reconciliation.

It caused a number of truckers to refuse longer haul moves and/or minimize the number of loads they would handle. On top of that, we saw a decrease in capacity with many truckers quitting and an increase in costs as many implemented a layover fee to cover those additional expenses. Since that time, many truckers have found ways to make it work but the layover fees and additional costs have stayed in effect. With COVID-19 and the hardship we have already seen as an economy and an industry, it appears that the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) is set to implement "tweaks" to the regulations . Among these tweaks is governing how much time truck drivers may work behind the wheel or on docks each day and week. These changes will create $274 million in annual savings for the U.S. economy and the trucking industry. Check out t...
