Graphical TIR Entry

TotalFleet was designed to be easy to use even by the novice computer user. A great example of our commitment to ease of use is our graphical TIR entry window. Below you will see a sample window of how damages are entered into the TIR.

Container Aging

TotalFleet has a flexible container aging configuration. Aging is configured by the use of an aging profile. Steamship lines and customers can be members of an aging profile. This allows your company to charge for container yard services to other customers.

Each aging profile can support either a flat aging amount after so many days (including or not including weekends). Tiered charging is also supported based on the number of days.

Dispatch Integration

TotalFleet integrates its intermodal operations with its Computer Aided Dispatch features. When a container is picked from the yard, it is marked as en route, the container aging resets, the container history is updated, etc. Also, TotalFleet will not allow a dispatcher to dispatch a container with a load unless it has been cleared by steamship and customs (this option is configurable).

TotalFleet will keep track of additional charges like tolls, etc. in addition to regular delivery charges. The BOL that is printed can include the load information like seal, contents, weight etc. from the container database.
