Our Company

Technology

Although Knichel Logistics prides itself on exemplary employees, our foundation has been further solidified by top-notch information systems that have taken transportation-oriented technology to a new level of efficiency.

Advanced Transportation Technology

We are able to consistently anticipate and fulfill the wants and needs of those we serve on a daily basis – our customers, our carriers, and our agents. Knichel Logistics has the ability to customize our applications to conform to your expectations.

Knichel Logistics is always on the leading edge of new systems and technologies, being one of the first transportation providers to utilize the state-of-the-art LoadTech® information systems platform. This flexible and evolving system has enabled us to add modules to our existing platform, which allows us to grow with our customers’ needs. With technological advancements being made daily, we are confident in this system’s ability to lead the way.

The unparalleled capabilities of our information systems platform facilitate total management of all aspects of the supply chain. Our dispatchers have at their hands a tool that monitors and displays real-time shipment information whenever you need it. The peace of mind that comes from knowing the exact location of your product is invaluable.

The Ease of Electronic Data Interchange

To further streamline your experience with Knichel Logistics, our system has web-enabled functionality that allows you to track and trace your shipments via the Internet.

The benefits to our customers and carriers from this system include the use of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for reporting purposes, and access to our Document Imaging System, which eliminates the inconvenience of requesting documentation via fax. The amount of time Knichel can save you is the biggest benefit of all.

In addition to saving time, EDI also reduces paperwork, unnecessary telephone calls, manual data entry and improves data accuracy and overall customer service. Knichel Logistics is proud to offer the following EDI Documents:

EDI 204

This document is used as a replacement for, or supplement to, a traditional paper bill of lading. The 204 can also be used as a load tender or a manifest. When the 204 is sent as a BOL to a carrier by Knichel Logistics, it is considered to be an exact representation of the shipment. When the 204 is transmitted as a load tender, it is considered a freight offering to the carrier and is not a binding agreement. Finally, when it is used as a manifest, it is considered to be a listing of Knichel Logistics’ freight given to the particular carrier at the time of pickup.

EDI 210

This document is used to provide an itemized detail of freight charges. It is also used as a request for payment of services and is sent to the party responsible for payment, or the bill to.

EDI 214

This document is used to report the status of a shipment to the shipper and/or the consignee. The 214 can also provide carrier performance data, pickup and delivery dates and times, information concerning shipments in transit and a variety of reference numbers (PRO number, BOL number, etc).

EDI 990

This document is used to respond to EDI 204 when it is used as a load tender. The 990 contains information regarding the acceptance, conditional acceptance or declination of a specific load tendered by the shipper. This document is normally used for full truckload shipments.

EDI 997

This document is used to acknowledge the receipt of an EDI 214 transmission. This receipt is critical in ensuring that no errors have been made on the previous 214 transmission.
