Choose the right perspective
Match the person's vantage point to your problem, since someone who ran a drayage fleet, someone who managed port operations for an ocean carrier and someone who ran a container terminal see different parts of the same flow. Also look for experience at the ports or regions where your freight moves, and favor recent roles if your question depends on current terminal conditions.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you plan drayage capacity and dispatch when terminal appointment times and vessel schedules keep shifting?
- 02What causes the most detention and demurrage charges, and what have you done to bring them down?
- 03How do you coordinate with terminals, ocean carriers and chassis providers when containers get stuck at the port?
