4. As more and more shippers look to
concentrate on their core businesses
and eliminate the liability that comes
with fleet ownership, one popular solu-
tion has become outsourcing transpor-
tation functions through a dedicated
contract with a carrier. Cowan Sys-
tems offers dedicated fleet services
which provide a customized transpor-
tation package designed to meet the
specific needs of the shipper, such as
specialized equipment, strict time-
tables and custom reporting.
A Cowan dedicated contract can be
predicated on one of two variables:
(1) dedicated volume (in which a com-
mitment is given to handle specific
volumes of business); or (2) a specific
number of drivers, tractors and trailer
provided on a cost-plus basis.
Dedicated fleet services can provide:
• Fixed pricing and long-term con-
tracts to provide cost control
• Backhaul programs that share rev-
enue with the shipper
• Drivers dedicated to the spe-
cific needs of the shipper and its
customer(s)
• New equipment with state-of-the-art
onboard communications
• Backup from the regional truckload
fleet for peak shipping periods
• Regular customized reporting
