The Guaranteed Traffic Program for Less-Than-Truckload Shipments at Naval Supply Center, Oakland

Abstract

This thesis examines the less-than-truckload Guaranteed Traffic Program (GTP) for continental U.S. (CONUS) shipments as it is currently being used at NSC Oakland and NSC Norfolk. A description of the major CONUS Navy Material Transportation Office (NAVMTO) transportation programs is presented. A detailed description is given of the Guaranteed Traffic Program, including award procedures and the agreement (tender). Reduction in manning in conjunction with implementation of the GTP, as well as other benefits of the guaranteed traffic are studied. Transportation costs and transit times are analyzed to determine the effect that guaranteed traffic has had on these factors.
