Watch the episode
What is this episode about?
Metal and steel transport is rarely “standard”: axle loads, route restrictions, permits, safety requirements, and highly fluctuating volumes make planning a discipline for specialists. In 30 minutes, you’ll learn a structured approach for modeling restrictions in a way that makes them planable, realistically mapping cargo space and weights, and making freight rate decisions that remain robust even in the face of volatility. AI comes into play here as an “assistant”: It plans the cargo space and route while accounting for all the restrictions that matter to you—simultaneously and in a matter of seconds.
Your 3 Key Takeaways:
You’ll learn how to accurately incorporate restrictions (weight/axle load/routes/permits) into your planning.
You’ll gain best practices for translating volatility in volumes and prices into robust decisions.
You’ll understand how AI automates daily scheduling and lightens your team’s workload in day-to-day operations.
