Freight Logistics

The Freight Logistics button opens a window for editing commodity mixes and valuation, and for viewing key cost factors. Access this functionality by clicking the Freight Logistics button at the bottom of the Travel page.

Commodity Mixes

On the Commodity Mixes tab, you can edit the commodity mix for your region across four different directions of travel. Use the dropdown in the top left of the window to toggle between Internal, Incoming, Outgoing, and Through traffic.

Commodity Valuation

On the Commodity Valuation tab, you can edit the time sensitivity of different commodities if you’d like to apply different assumptions than the TREDIS defaults.

• Value ($ per Ton). Value per US ton of the commodity, in the dollar year of the Contract.
• Inventory Carrying Cost The $ per ton-hour of holding the inventory due to delays built into their scheduling and late docking fees applied because of trip scheduling.
• Logistics Reliability Cost The $ per ton-hour of shipments that need to have buffer time.
• Logistics Delay Cost The $ per ton-hour of logistics due to delays.

Costs Summary

Key cost factors are summarized on the Costs Summary tab by mode using the commodity mix for the region for the direction in the drop-down at top left. This data can be used to trace results in the Cost Savings by Type report under the Tracing/Validation report group.
