Root Cause Errors and Recommended Actions
The table below lists the Truckload Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Root Cause Errors and the recommended actions for fixing those issues.
Root Cause Error |
Recommended Action |
---|---|
No Historical Carrier Tracking |
Issue: Carrier has never successfully tracked a shipment in the p44 network, indicating that onboarding was never successfully completed. Recommended Action: Confirm invite status in Network Management Center. If no invite exists, send a new invite. If carrier is already invited, validate carrier contact information used in NMC via email outreach. Re-send invite with the confirmed valid contact information. |
Carrier Not Providing Equipment IDs to project44 |
Issue: Carrier has telematics connection with project44, but is not sharing equipment identifiers. Equipment identifiers are required on every telematics shipment in order to track. Recommended Action: Confirm responsible party for adding equipment identifiers (customer or carrier). Reach out to the responsible party and request that equipment identifiers are provided for 100% of shipments. |
Carrier Not Providing Equipment IDs to Customer |
Issue: Equipment identifiers have been provided by carrier for other customers in the p44 network but not for this individual customer. Recommended Action: Confirm responsible party for adding equipment identifiers (customer or carrier). Reach out to the responsible party and request that equipment identifiers are provided for 100% of shipments. |
Carrier Not Onboarded for Customer |
Issue: Carrier has history of successful tracking with p44, but not for this individual customer. Recommended Action: Confirm that onboarding request has been sent to the carrier. If carrier connection is DIRECT, make sure the carrier has received instructions via email to authorize data feed for your shipments. If carrier connection is telematics, ensure NMC invite has been sent to the carrier and accepted. For both carrier types, If request had previously been sent, follow up with the carrier regarding status and include # of shipments expected to track and five untracked shipment identifier examples. |
Shipment Created after Delivery |
Issue: Shipment was created after the end of the delivery window. Creating shipments after physical transit will lead to missed tracking. Recommended Action: Review impacted shipments to understand why creation occurred after delivery window and revise operational flow to prevent recurrence. |
Mobile Tracking Not Approved |
Issue: Mobile tracking request was not approved by the driver for tracking. The driver must have the DriveView mobile app set up correctly and must accept mobile tracking requests for successful shipment tracking. Recommended Action: Reach out to your carrier contact with shipment examples and ensure carrier awareness on proper DriveView mobile app installation and usage requirements. |
Missing Mobile Phone Number |
Issue: No mobile phone number was added to the shipment, which prevents tracking. Recommended Action: Confirm responsible party for adding equipment identifiers (customer or carrier). Reach out to the responsible party and request that equipment identifiers are provided for 100% of shipments and include multiple shipment examples. |
Missing Telematics Equipment ID |
Issue: No equipment identifier was added to the shipment, which prevents tracking. Recommended Action: Confirm responsible party for adding equipment identifiers (customer or carrier). Reach out to the responsible party to request that equipment identifiers are provided for 100% of shipments and include multiple shipment examples. |
Invalid Phone Number |
Issue: An invalid phone number was added to the shipment which prevented tracking. Typically due to improper formatting of the phone number or a landline. Recommended Action: Confirm responsible party for adding equipment identifiers (customer or carrier). Reach out to the responsible party and request that valid mobile phone numbers are provided and include multiple shipment examples. |
Inactive Telematics Equipment ID |
Issue: The asset (e.g., license plate, truck #) assigned to the shipment was considered inactive prior to transit beginning. An inactive status in the NMC indicates that we did not receive data from the asset in the prior 4 days. Recommended Action: Determine who adds equipment identifiers (customer or the carrier). If the carrier is responsible, provide them five shipment examples and associated equipment IDs to flag as inactive in the NMC. Request validation with Telematics provider that assets are valid and can provide tracking. |
Invalid Telematics Connection |
Issue: Carrier's connection in the NMC is in 'Critical' status which prevents tracking. Most common issue is use of invalid telematics credentials by the carrier. Recommended Action: Follow up with carrier to review telematics credentials and confirm they are valid. If this fails, create ticket with support. |
All Tracking Status Updates Had Timestamps in Future |
Issue: Carrier sent all tracking updates with a timestamp in the future, preventing successful tracking. Recommended Action: Please reach out to the carrier with examples to ensure they are sending real-time updates to project44. |
All Tracking Status Updates Had Timestamps in Past |
Issue: Carrier sent all updates with a timestamp greater than one week in the past. Latent data prevents project44 from providing real-time tracking updates. Recommended Action: Please reach out to the carrier with examples to ensure they are sending real-time updates to project44. |
