Efficiency must be maximized on service and delivery trucks.

Saving Money on Delivery and Logistics

The rental business can be lucrative but revenue received of course must be in proper proportion to cost and the cost of delivering equipment efficiently must be managed properly.

The rental business can be lucrative but revenue received of course must be in proper proportion to cost and the expense of delivering equipment efficiently must be managed properly. What is the cost of running delivery trucks, how do rental companies minimize those costs to be successful? How do rental companies organize dispatch and delivery with the minimum waste of fuel and extra miles on trucks running empty and unproductive? And how can software help a rental company to organize delivery effectively?

Our webinar on Wednesday, May 18 will bring some insight into those and other related issues. We have operations expertise of Heath Watton, Southeast Ohio regional manager, of Southeastern Equipment, a distributor and rental company with 21 locations in four states, accustomed to organizing dispatch and delivery in a wide geographic area. We also have Rich Elefante, transportation, logistics and dispatch manager for Deer Park, N.Y.-based Able Equipment Rental, which delivers equipment in some very congested areas around New York City, Long Island, New Jersey and the greater Philadelphia area. And we have two software expects who design software for rental companies and have programs specifically geared towards efficiency in dealing with dispatch and delivery. We have Wayne Harris, CEO of Point of Rental Software and Alex Kress, general manager of Texada Software.

Our panel may not have every definitive answer on how to do delivery the best way, but they’ll certainly have some ideas that can help just about any rental company out there.

So we invite you to spend an hour with us this Wednesday May 18 at 2 p.m. Eastern time. You can sign up here: http://rermag.com/webinar/rental-transportation-and-logistics
