Focus on Growing Your Business with Dedicated Contract Carriage

Fleet management is a core part of any fleet, but it comes with many responsibilities that can be overwhelming and time-consuming. As a result, you can spend more time managing your fleet than growing your business. So, what can you do?

Many shippers outsource portions of their fleets, such as equipment leasing or maintenance. This is a full-service lease with no regulations, which frees up capital. But, that only addresses certain needs of overall fleet management, which can create more work and headaches for shippers in the long run.

In this article, we highlight why shippers should consider Dedicated Contract Carriage, which offers a more complete, customized solution and gives them time back in their day to focus on their core competency and growing their business.

What is Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC)?

Dedicated Contract Carriage is a specific type of fleet outsourcing where a third-party logistics provider (3PL) like TQ Logistics supplies a dedicated fleet of vehicles and drivers exclusively for a single client's use. This arrangement often includes customized services tailored to the client's unique needs, such as branded vehicles, specialized equipment, and dedicated routes.

Three (3) Key Benefits of DCC:

Dedicated Contract Carriage offers many benefits, and three key benefits include:

1. Exclusivity. DCC provides a dedicated fleet exclusively for one client versus sharing resources with other fleets.
    
2. Control. With DCC, the client has more control over the fleet operations as the vehicles and drivers are dedicated to your company. This can be advantageous if you need a high level of customization and control over your logistics. Additionally, DCC offers better cost predictability and potentially lower long-term costs through efficiency gains.
    
3. Customization. DCC often includes tailored services, such as branded vehicles and specialized equipment, to meet the client's unique needs.

Consider your company's specific transportation needs and what core business activities you need to focus on, such as the level of control you require, budget constraints, scalability needs, and the importance of customization.
