IDEA: Offer a ‘fast’ delivery price and a ‘slow’ delivery price. Smooth out your work schedule and satisfy customers.

Offer your customers quick delivery and charge them an excess amount for it. For all of those customers who plan ahead and would prefer a cheaper freight costs, come up with a slow delivery rate.  This rate will be cheaper and will help to smooth out your trucking delivery schedule (cutting overtime) and ultimately helps the customer save money. When your firm can decide when to take the shipment, you can avoid overtime, keep drivers working, make money and make the customer contented. Some customers will still want the fast delivery and be sure to charge them for it. Also offer a slow rate that allows your company to decide when to ship the ordered product which will cut overtime costs to help maintain the same margins.

Is there anything we missed?
