Dedicated Contract Carriage: Why it’s ideal for your small company
Submitted by brent on Tue, 11/17/2009 - 15:12.
I’d like to dispel a myth that is common among many small companies. I often hear business owners of small and even medium-sized companies tell me that they can’t afford Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC). But, this simply isn’t true.
In an era of rising fuel costs, driver shortages and increasing DOT compliance issues, the real costs of managing your supply chain demand that you maximize equipment and embrace efficiencies so you can continue to increase your profits. Instead of focusing on your core business operations, you end up spending your time and financial resources trouble-shooting transportation issues that you could outsource to an expert.
Sometimes I think the conclusion that “we can’t afford this service” is more connected to a lack of understanding around what DCC actually is. Maybe you’ve heard of 3PL or Third Party Logistics? That’s just another way of saying DCC. At Nussbaum, our DCC services include customized transportation solutions, specialized equipment and services, driver recruitment and training, fleet management and DOT compliance.
We provide Dedicated services to companies with annual transportation budgets as low as $5 million. We also offer a variety of services to different companies, depending on their specific needs and budgets. Just like other business decisions you make throughout the course of the year, when considering DCC, you weigh the costs and benefits within parameters you define. That’s the beauty of DCC. It’s a flexible solution that you can use to streamline your operations and ultimately, build a better business.
