As more and more shippers look to concentrate on their core businesses and eliminate the liability that comes with fleet ownership, one popular solu-tion has become outsourcing transpor-tation functions through a dedicated contract with a carrier. Cowan Sys-tems offers dedicated fleet services which provide a customized transpor-tation package designed to meet the specific needs of the shipper, such as specialized equipment, strict time-tables and custom reporting.

A Cowan dedicated contract can be predicated on one of two variables: (1) dedicated volume (in which a com-mitment is given to handle specific

volumes of business); or (2) a specific number of drivers, tractors and trailer provided on a cost-plus basis.

Dedicated fleet services can provide:• Fixed pricing and long-term con-

tracts to provide cost control• Backhaul programs that share rev-

enue with the shipper• Drivers dedicated to the spe-

cific needs of the shipper and its customer(s)

• New equipment with state-of-the-art onboard communications

• Backup from the regional truckload fleet for peak shipping periods

• Regular customized reporting
