Further advancements include a new transportation management system (TMS) designed to eliminate bill-of-lading errors, reduce loading times, provide advanced reporting, and streamline logistics operations. Looking ahead, carriers soon will have the capability to self-load directly from the racks, offering greater efficiency and flexibility.
“These enhancements reflect our unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, safety, and continuous improvement,” John Badgley, BSI director of strategy and operations, said in a news release.
