The Cross Docking Monitoring Percentile System by Weigh Point is perfectly legal to use whilst permitting the accurate reweighing necessary to recover lost freight weight revenue based by errant reports by shippers.
THE ISSUE
It is not uncommon for incoming freight to be understated or inaccurately declared on the waybill. The high cost to locate and recover revenue from these errant shipments often have freight carrier’s side stepping the issue by ignoring the discrepancies. Reweighing and verifying weights can take time and add to overhead costs.
THE SOLUTION
The Cross Docking Monitoring Percentile comprises a bright, digital display that is highly visible in the fork lift truck cab. The lift truck operator simply enters the shippers reported freight weight into the numeral keypad, then press enter. The actual weight is internally compared to the shipper’s weight upon lifting the freight and show as a percentage on the display.
Any percentage above 100% is an overweight, e.g. 120% represents the shippers weight is understated by 20%. Management can establish an acceptable overweight beyond which the freight can be legally reweighed on a floor scale. All freight within limits can be processed without a reweigh saving a great expense.
GET READY TO SAVE
EXPECT A REVENUE INCREASE OF $10,000 PER/YEAR OR MORE, PER FORKLIFT.
Also, as a bonus you can take full advantage of the system’s ‘accumulator’ feature and wireless capabilities. Now as you load outbound freight you can keep a running tally of your shipment weigh with no effort.
