Direct Shipments to Overseas Customers

Abstract

This study documents a review of DLA's capability to source load cargo containers for direct shipment to overseas customers. Source loading is defined as loading a cargo container with enough freight to generate a Container Load (CL) at a single shipper location destined to a single customer. The CL is then taken directly to the port of embarkation (POE) for shipment to the customer, bypassing Container Consolidation Point (CCP) processing. The study included freight generated at DLA, Army (now under DLA management), and GSA supply depots during an 18 week timeframe Former Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps supply depots were not reviewed because the requisition data for those depots were not available at the time of the study.
