ODC — Over-Dimensional Cargo Transport
Fleet Management Built for ODC Transport Operations
?
Route surveys done on paper — findings never linked to permits or job recordsSurvey data trapped on clipboards, disconnected from movement planning and billing
?
Multi-state NOCs and highway permits expiring without alertsOne missed permit can halt an entire convoy mid-corridor, costing enormous delay charges
?
Standby, waiting & idle time charges manually compiled — frequently under-billedEvery border halt and site delay is billable, but rarely captured and recovered
