The Superior Manufacturing Company wants to make two shipments from Dallas, Texas to Los Angeles, California. The first shipment weighs 10,000 pounds and the second shipment weighs 15,000 pounds. The carrier charges $10 per hundredweight (cwt) if the goods are shipped separately and they arrive in two days. If the goods can be consolidated into one shipment the cost would be $8 per cwt to ship them in a truckload lot, but it would cost $500 to consolidate the shipments at the carrier’s warehouse and it would take three days.

Use the appropriate strategy to assign joint costs of an LTL route to each of the following shipments. Show your calculations and the assigned cost below. [1] A PUD truck driver works ten hours serving local customers for an LTL carrier. On the route, the driver makes 12 stops at area industries. The driver averaged 25 miles per hour while driving and drove 150 miles. During the trip, the driver handled 80 separate shipments, filling 70% of his truck by weight and 65% by the cube. The route cost a total of $2450. Using the time strategy for PUD cost assignment, determine the costs to be assigned to Shipper A and each shipment if the driver handled 4 shipments (3 delivered, 1 picked up) at the stop, and took 40 minutes to serve the Shipper. Total Assigned Cost for Shipper A Assigned Cost for Each Shipment [2] An LTL linehaul truck route takes 15 hours to complete.

Large trucks are an important piece of the logistics chain. However, there were 333,000 large truck crashes in 2012, resulting in almost 3,800 fatalities, the majority being drivers or passengers of other vehicles, not the truck driver. One accident in 2014 caused a public uproar when a Walmart truck driver fell asleep at the wheel after being awake for 24 hours and crashed into another car, killing one person and critically injuring others, one being a well-known comedian. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration enacted tougher hours-of-service rules that went into effect in July 2013. One report claimed that the industry would lose $1 billion in lost productivity as a result of these rules, while another concluded the industry would realize almost $500 million in benefit from reduced driver mortality. The new rules have caused considerable controversy and have caused hardships for drivers. As one driver put it, “If the wheels aren’t…

es Problem 11-4 (LO2) An appliance manufacturer has a plant near Toronto that receives small electric motors from a manufacturer located in Winnipeg. The demand for motors is 118,000 units per year. The cost of each motor is $125. The motors are purchased in lots of 3.400 units. The ownership of motors transfers to the appliance manufacturer in Winnipeg. The question is which mode of transportation, truck or train, the appliance manufacturer should use to bring the motors from Winnipeg to Toronto. The railroad company charges $3 per motor. and it takes approximately seven days by train. The trucking company charges $5 per motor, but it takes only three days. The appliance manufacturer will keep 1,400 units as safety stock if a truck is used and 2.500 units as safety stock if a train is used for transportation. Assume 365 days per year. If the holding cost rate is 25 percent of unit cost per year, which mode of transportation will minimize total transportation and in-transit and safety…
