Trucker Scheduling with Premier Appointment System^™

ESC's Premier Appointment System (PAS) is a real-time appointment module for motor carriers that extends the functionality of VoyagerTrack®. The PAS module comes standard with VoyagerTrack 5.0. This new capability in VoyagerTrack allows truckers to schedule arrival appointments at the gate resulting in reduced wait time for motor carriers. Terminals benefit from reduced operational costs from improved gate efficiency, accelerated throughput, and better equipment utilization. Improved equipment utilization translates into better economies and less traffic congestion. For trucking companies, these benefits lead to increased "turns" and enhanced profitability.

PAS provides access to real-time useful information--not stale data. The flexible appointment scheduling capability allows truckers to choose the mode of interaction they prefer: To schedule their arrival time, truckers can use either a Web-based interface, or an automated telephone system (Interactive Voice Response, or IVR).
