Evidence from the desk

We finally stopped arguing about whether dwell started at the gate. The board now matches how our Seekan yard actually queues trailers. The first pilot week felt slow while we rewrote definitions, but the Monday reviews are shorter now.

The review called out three measures we had kept out of habit. Retiring them freed space for exception ages we actually chase. I still wish we had scheduled the shadowing on a peak day rather than a quiet Tuesday.

Our new leads left with a draft agenda they used the following Monday. The Chiang Mai corridor examples in the workbook matched our staging pauses better than the generic templates we tried last year.

After we added a second carrier on the border lane, the refresh visit rewrote punctuality so we were not scoring overnight holds as coordinator faults. The change log helped the night shift catch up without a long briefing.

Handoff clarity between the warehouse bay and our desk used to live in chat threads. Putting a simple handoff cell on the wall did more than another spreadsheet. Printing the source notes for the binder was the part that stuck.
