Logistics and Aviation: Load Matching, Cargo Transportation, and Reported Speech

Logistics

Logistics: The logistician found a load match of two shipments going to the same place. By engaging in collaboration, the two companies were able to both make a profit. The truck's trailer was empty on the deadhead leg of the trip. The load configuration model showed the best way to load the truck. The workers were pleased with the load planning software the company installed on their computers. The regulatory agency fined the company for not being in compliance with the rules. During the cost optimization meeting, ideas were tossed around to save the company money. We were able to load two less than full truckloads. Where's the load going? Is it going to a distribution center? Let's see if we can find a load match using the software. If the truck can make a backhaul, that would be great.

Aviation

The aircraft was not authorized to enter the country's airspace. New advances in aviation are occurring all the time. The freight integrator picked up the shipment from the seller and took it to the airport. Emma is a pilot for a dedicated cargo operator, so she never transports passengers on her plane. Jack arrived at the airport late and missed his flight to London. The aircraft is solely used to transport cargo and has a large belly hold. The shipping container was piggybacked on top of a flat car, and Andy and Diane bought train tickets at the terminal. Automobiles are classified as roll-on roll-off cargo. The train consisted of piggybacking COFC headed for the port on the ocean. The pallets were loaded onto both levels of the double-stack car. Passenger train travel is not popular. The boy counted forty cargoes on the train. The TOFC were unloaded, and the trailers were hitched to trucks waiting by the rail yard.

Short Haul

The company contracted with a common carrier to transport. The less than a truckload shipment only took up a quarter of a box trailer. The destination is so short haul.
