Dry Run Drayage
Dry run planning for container moves when release, access, appointment, or receiver readiness fails. A dry run can result when release, gate access, appointment, equipment, site access, or receiver readiness prevents the planned work.
Dispatch and failed-attempt records
Send what stopped the move, the facility or receiver, appointment details, timestamps, equipment status, and the new plan if known.
Evidence of the failed attempt
Keep dispatch instructions, arrival time, failed release, denied access, missed appointment, equipment condition, and the revised plan.
A failed attempt versus completed pickup
A dry run can occur even when a truck arrives as scheduled if release, access, appointment, equipment, or receiver readiness prevents the work.
How a dry run is evaluated
A dry run is evaluated from the dispatch instructions, arrival record, failed release or access condition, time on site, and work completed.
Failed-attempt records and revised dispatch plan
Keep dispatch instructions, failed release, access, or appointment evidence, timestamps, and the revised plan together.
Send the failed-attempt records
Include failed release, access, or appointment evidence; arrival and departure times; customer instructions; and the revised plan.
