Closely monitoring your free time at terminals and with the trucking team is essential to avoiding unnecessary charges. When Shippabo arranges trucking at the destination for your full container, you are automatically granted one hour of free time. However, if the unloading process takes longer than one hour, you will incur a charge of $100 per hour, per container. By staying vigilant and ensuring efficient handling of your shipments, you can minimize additional expenses and optimize the overall shipping process. Effective internal communication and coordination with your team are crucial to ensure the availability of manpower when your container is scheduled for delivery. By utilizing the shipments overview list or the containers list, you can gain visibility into the scheduled delivery times and appropriately prepare your receiving team. Proper planning helps avoid paying unnecessary waiting time charges, contributing to a more cost-effective and efficient shipping process.
