Understanding Fault Severity

Edited

By considering that each of these faults has its own level of severity, we are able to give credit to those carriers who arrive less late to their appointments and falloff of their load sooner, rather than later. 

 

FALLOFFS:

We understand plans sometimes change and unforeseen circumstances may result in having to fall off a shipment. Any falloffs that take place 48 hours before the pickup are tracked but will not count against the carrier's falloff score. While falling off with less than 24 hours to the pickup appointment will have a 100% impact on their score. With severity in mind, carriers that fall off between 24 and 48 hours to pickup will receive credit the sooner they report the falloff.

  • Example: if a carrier falls off 40 hours to pick up, the falloff fault will only be 21%, compared to falling off 22 hours before pickup, the fault will count as 100%


ON-TIME:

Arriving on-time to your appointment is vital in ensuring we can continue providing a diverse selection of loads to the carriers in our network. On-time is measured by whether you check in at each stop by the appointment time listed on the ratecon. Visit here to learn more about the Convoy Platform's on-time performance metrics. 

 

On-Time is measured at each stop of a shipment and then combined into a shipment on-time score by weighting each stop based on importance to the successful completion of the shipment. Generally, importance is weighted with Live having the most importance then Loaded Trailers, and then Empty Trailers.

  • Example: If a shipment is late for a Live stop but on time for an Empty Trailer stop, it will receive a lower score than if it's on time for a Live stop but late for an Empty Trailer stop.

 

In terms of severity for on-time arrival, a carrier who arrives 20 minutes after their appointment will have a better on-time percentage than if the carrier arrived 45 minutes late. 

  • Example: If a carrier is 15 minutes late to their appointment, they will be rated as 82% on-time, whereas arriving 45 minutes late to their stop will result in a 17% on-time rating.
