carrier — 23 things I got wrong before I got it right
Thinking out loud about this: carrier — 23 things I got wrong before I got it right. Packaging is assessable on arrival with no equipment: rigid outer, no movement inside, the cold element sized to the transit rather than to the box. Four observations is not a distribution. The lane tables here only became predictive…
Yes — regional stock is the single biggest variable and it barely gets mentioned outside this board.
Same lane in a different season for comparison?
Kept a spreadsheet of quoted versus actual across a year. The quote held; the variance was all in the last mile.
Clearance took three days and the carrier took nine. I had been blaming the wrong half for two years.
Correction: that was clearance time, not carrier time. The lane table separates them for exactly this reason.
the last mile is where most of the variance lives
