Third-party carriers
Specialised transport companies offer a range of services to other organisations. The advantage
of this arrangement is that specialised companies run the transport, leaving the organisation
to concentrate on its core operations. By using their skills and expertise the transport operators
can give better services, or lower costs than own account transport. They might also be large
enough to reduce costs through economies of scale, and they can get a number of operational
benefits. They can, for example, consolidate smaller loads into larger ones and reduce the
number of trips between destinations, or they can co-ordinate journeys to give backhauls,
where delivery vehicles are loaded with other materials for the return journey.
Most third-party transport is provided by common carriers. These are companies like TNT
and Excel Logistics which move materials on a one-off basis whenever asked by another organisation. If you want to send a parcel to Australia, you might use a parcel delivery service such as UPS, which acts as a common carrier.
Alternatively, an organisation can form a long-term relationship with a contract carrier.
This contract carrier then takes over a part – often most of – the organisation’s transport for
some extended period. Schenker, for example, act as a contract carrier when they are responsible for all the movement of goods for Roche Diagnostics in the USA. Contract transport
companies offer a wide range of services, ranging from an occasional parcel collection to
running a large, dedicated fleet for an individual customer.
