How can carriers and shippers work together to bridge these gaps in understanding? Are there certain industries or sectors where detention time issues tend to be more prevalent? How can shippers in these sectors take proactive steps to address these challenges and enhance their relationship with carriers? Do you still see long detention times with a drop trailer program? If you’re a brokerage with a shipper that is known to be a slow loader/unloader, does it fall on the brokerage to try and help that shipper improve their wait times? In the context of detentions, how important is data sharing and transparency between carriers and shippers?
