In the case of the “Coke Consolidated” the issue was reducing the idle time of trailers. Typically the company’s daily inventory showed it had over 100 trailers idle. Their goal was to keep the trailers in use by knowing their locations in real time. Another key ingredient was to manage loads and make distribution more efficient.
