Many CSPs have been asking lately if we are aware of any progress being made as far as the implementation of Network 2.0 goes.  First, we don’t have anything that’s not necessarily public knowledge. Having said this, we do however “speak FedEx” and can read the tea leaves to make some educated guesses concerning what types of changes may be in store. In this post, we’ll share our highly requested opinions about a recent post on the contractor portal and what *may* be just around the corner for CSPs concerning their CSAs.

If so, it may already be time to start thinking about and even implementing some time definite strategies into your operation. CSPs that have already taken the first steps into Network 2.0’s fast-paced world, will tell you that time management and situational awareness is more important than ever. The inclusion of Time-Definite stops has changed the way they view dispatching drivers and how the drivers handle each day’s workload. Building a time definite strategy *now* will help you take better control of your current operation and dictate how successful you’ll be during and after the actual integration.
