HaulPlan helps carriers plan smarter, react faster, and increase profit
Reduce Linehaul Costs
Optimized load plans and schedules reduce linehaul and handling costs to increase profit.
Improve Service Quality
Optimized shipment routing reduces service delays, improves on-time performance and increases customer satisfaction.
Responsive Linehaul Planning
Automated linehaul planning reduces plan creation time from days to hours, supporting quicker, more frequent changes to plans.
Powerful Planning Options
Create plans considering endless day-of-week and week-of-month scenarios to support the variability of high-volume LTL operations.
What-If Scenario Analysis
Easily and proactively understand the impact of complicated operational changes, such as gaining or losing a customer, to shifting zip codes or switching facilities.
Advanced Strategic Planning
Design networks from scratch using advanced simulation and modeling technology, and make strategic decisions based on science over institutional knowledge.

Comprehensive Linehaul Planning
Optimize strategic and tactical planning and redesign networks to reduce linehaul cost.
Strategic Planning
Upgrade/Downgrade Mode: Plan for facility expansion or reduction automatically with Upgrade and Downgrade engine modes.
Service Rationalization: Define service standards for different network configurations.
Hub Operating Window Expansion: Analyze the impact of expanding or reducing hub operating hours across the network.
HaulPlan has become an integral part of our strategic planning tools and continues to support our efforts to gain efficiency in multiple facets of our network design.

Tactical Planning
Hub Skipping
Automatically identify where to build directs to skip handling, reducing cost and risk across the network.
Network Design Planning
Redesign and optimize break locations and service product offerings to save money and increase competitiveness.
Third-Party Plan Optimization
Create holistic plans that include optimization of third party rail and purchase plans.
Disruption Planning
Adapt linehaul plans for weather and terminal disruptions to minimize cost and mitigate service impact when adversity strikes.
Sophisticated Modeling
Enjoy advanced LTL planning and create a “digital twin” of any network.
Day of Week Modeling
Analyze differences in demand by day-of-week or month to make smarter decisions based on the real-world variability of your network.
LTL-Tailored Algorithms
Advanced algorithms built specifically for the LTL industry help LTL carriers not just find a solution, but find the best solution.
HaulPLAN has been used to empower our planners to easily see the network impact of our decisions, design temporary weather or covid impacted alternatives, and seamlessly push our changes into our execution system, saving us time and money.
