Livestock transportation is no ordinary distribution and transport system. Delivering a live cargo adds all sorts of extra logistical dimensions far beyond just getting the trucks on the road. And each of those dimensions brings an extra level of complexity to the transportation process, from animal welfare, stress reduction, and disease control to capacity restrictions and collection/ delivery windows. The AMCS Livestock Planner, based on AMCS Fleet Planner, takes all these extra challenges into account, providing the solution companies need to do livestock transportation right.
