For time-sensitive or temperature-controlled cargo, most shippers will agree that high-quality, real-time tracking information is crucial. Though that technology can be expensive, the investment is easy to justify when it could mean the difference between an on-time delivery and spoiled cargo. But for general cargo—which does not have strict timeline requirements—it can be harder for shippers to justify that cost. Individualized tracking information simply isn’t as critical for those standard loads. And if shippers do decide to invest in tracking devices for general cargo, rarely is the technology advanced enough to make a sizable difference to their bottom line.
