If your carrier does not adhere to the set time frame ...

.... the right to a prompt unloading of your vehicles.

"allot" - warum bin ich da nicht drauf gekommen? Nice one, Werner, und guten Morgen ;-)

Moin, Bacon. Auf gute, wie immer ergänzende Zusammenarbeit.

Thanks for the correction, hic.

If a contracted haulier misses an assiged time window, then the unloading time is not longer gauranteed.

These are called time windows in English. For example, if the time window is 13:00-14:00, then if the vehicle is there by 13:00 it will be unloaded by 14:00, otherwise there is a demurrage charge due. Note BE ahulier, AE hauler.

@ Timo: "...is no longer guaranteed"

Experience has shown that Timo should not be trusted. I've seen plenty of threads where the man is wrong but simply won't admit it.

The third tool allows the assessment of the performance of any given transport mode
within the same segment/route (including the transshipment point) in terms of costs
(incl. broken down figures), transit/voyage time, time at the transshipment, the prepost
haulage, reliability to catch the time window.

@Dancer Here an example from the web.
