This hidden profit loss, you need to stop it.
This is not the same as the truck-mounted airlines, each of which needs to be weighed, and all the errors found by their customers need to be found. Do you know how much the truck company loses every year? It loses $1 billion a year in fines.
We say that many airlines’ customers are called L shippers and do not own or use scale. Instead, their estimated weight. Some shippers believe that too much floor space is occupied by scales. Or, the extra step of moving the tray from the stretcher to the scale is too time-consuming and is what they think.
Before the beginning of the 21st century, only 30% of the load was weighed, so it was very rare for carriers to report inaccurate weights to customers.
Now, small L shippers — typically, we’re talking less than 50 people a day — are wrong. Usually, when the incorrect Numbers on their bill of lading have been extracted, they are generally extracted from the educated guesses.
When the tray is lifted by the dock staff or the weight of a single part or product is increased, the speculation will appear. For example, if a is a region of plastic manufacturers, his face twice a day is fine, the source of the error from the computer database system, $280 per week were increased, or increased to $13440 a year.
Even if the shipper did not appear to be fined, the same amount of money would be lost because of overestimating the weight. For years, the head of a equipment manufacturer estimated that his feet were heavy. The process has resulted in 25 times a week of his work, with a price of $25 each, and a loss of $18,000 a year.
It’s the smart shippers – whether cosmetics, plastic parts, water bottles – that are weighing their goods. The manufacturer of stretched packaging has changed this approach by integrating the scales into the wrapper, which has become simple and less costly.
