The Problem for...
Terminals:
Over 50% of RTG moves are non-revenue producing
Trucking companies:
Lack of scheduling leads to longer wait times
At terminals sub-optimal coordination between container bay location and clearing agents scheduling trucker pickup leads to:

- Labor strain of unpredictable congestion of trucker arrival
Next step:
Coordination between shipping company ship container location and destination terminal
