How many stops fit on one run?

It depends on the load, the vehicle, and how far apart the stops are. The goal is a route that flows rather than one crammed with stops that force the truck to double back. Send the pickups and drops and you get a proposed sequence with the quote.

Can you pick up from suppliers on different accounts?

Yes, as long as each order is released for pickup on your account at that supplier. Send the branch, the account, and the pickup number for each and they get pulled in route order.

How do the loads stay separated?

By loading in drop order and keeping each site's material apart on the truck, so the right product comes off at the right stop. Flag anything that has to stay isolated when you send the run over.

Is a multi-stop run cheaper than separate deliveries?

Often, since one routed run replaces several individual trips. What it costs depends on the number of stops, total distance and drive time, wait at each pickup, and the size and handling of the load. The run gets quoted before you commit.

Several suppliers into one jobsite, or one load spread across several sites — planned as a single routed run instead of a handful of separate trips to schedule, track, and pay for.

Overview

One run instead of five separate trips

Your material is scattered across three branches, or one delivery has to reach two sites on opposite sides of the bay. Rather than a separate trip for each, it gets planned as one route: the pickups in a workable order, the drops sequenced so nothing gets buried behind the next stop's load, and one point of contact for the whole run.

How the route gets planned

Stops sequenced to make sense

Send the pickups, the drops, and the window at each end. The sequence and the vehicle are worked out when the run is quoted.

01
Several suppliers, one drop
Pulls from a few branches — a supply house, a distributor, a fab shop — consolidated into a single delivery to your site.
02
One load, several sites
A single pickup split across multiple jobsites, dropping the right material at each in an order that keeps the rest of the load reachable.
03
Sequenced around the geography
Stops are ordered against the distance between them and the time of day, so the route is not crossing the bay twice for no reason.
04
Loaded in drop order
The load is arranged so the first stop's material comes off first, instead of digging past three sites' worth of product to reach it.
05
Windows respected at each stop
Each site's access window goes into the sequence, so one tight window does not blow up the rest of the route.
06
One contact for the whole run
You coordinate one run and one quote instead of chasing several separate deliveries and matching them up afterward.
