Drop Lots or Drop Yards

I ran into an interesting study that looked at a strategy to save trucking companies money and permit their drivers to spend more nights at home. This strategy involves splitting the routes with a drop lot which renting some parking space for trucks and trailers on a monthly basis. (The results are available on inderscience.com.)

DropLotUSA provides a marketplace for drop lot owners to increase the visibility of their service to those who need it. The site also means that transportation managers have one place to look for affordable parking for their trucks and trailers.
