Frequently Asked Questions
Who
is Rapid Relay?
- We
are a linehaul system facilitator that coordinates and combines the
synergy of our Dealers with our Carrier Members (Carriers, Private Fleets
and Logistics Providers) into a linehaul network. This network is now
being developed throughout North America.
What
does Rapid Relay do?
- Rapid
Relay Linehaul provides a totally unique linehaul system which is differentiated
by utilizing a monitored process using a series of relays to move our
Carrier Members Trailers over long distances.
Who
provides the trailers?
- Our
Carrier Members provide the Trailers and Loads. Rapid Relay provides
the Power, Drivers and the Monitored Relay System.
Why
cant we do this ourselves, we do switches now?
- Yes, you like most
Carriers or Private Fleets today are doing switches now, using the conventional
Switch Method of picking a spot en route and who ever gets there first
waits, or you may run terminal to terminal if you have terminals in
all the locations that you need to service.
- Unless you had
a large volume of steady freight moving on a particular corridor you
would find that it would not be feasible for you to setup the infrastructure
required to duplicate the Rapid system to get the same results.
What
would I do with my existing tractors and drivers if we converted over
to using Rapid Relay?
- That is a good
question, because when you take on Rapid Relay you are adding capacity.
- One option is to
utilize some of your Tractors and Drivers to do the first and or last
leg of a route.
- Another option
is to place your longhaul Drivers or Owner Operators at strategic locations
across the country and feed loaded trailers to them using Rapid Relay
Linehaul. Then rotate them on a weekly or bi weekly basis and thus utilizing
them locally or regionally when at home. This would also help you retain
Drivers/Owner Operators.
Can
I book a Trailer on Rapid Relay Linehaul without being a Rapid Relay Carrier
Member?
- NO. (Membership
has its Privileges and Advantages)
