These allowed full-truck-load-like rates with express-delivery-like service. Prior to scheduled trucks, shipments from an SDP to an installation were shipped by different modes, depending on the priority. By consolidating shipments for an installation across all priorities on a periodic basis, a lower shipping rate could be achieved for all shipments, even low-priority shipments.¹ Additionally, within an installation, a truck can stop at supply activities in a standard order at scheduled times, enabling improved receipting}, bookauthor = {Eric Peltz and Marc Robbins and Geoffrey McGovern}, booktitle = {Integrating the Department of Defense Supply Chain}, pages = {75--82}, publisher = {RAND Corporation}, title = {Scheduled Trucks—Apply a Systems View for Shipment Consolidation}, year = {2012} }
