Although it has some movements in and out of Canada and Mexico, Hardee has focused on moving freight in eastward and westward directions Hardee has dispatch centers located throughout the United States, which have some dock capacity. The new move would be between Pittsburgh and Miami. Hardee has avoided this mar- ket because of the lack of backhaul opportunities that exist outbound from Florida. However, this new move offers a significant increase in volume for Hardee. A complicating factor in this move is the request that Hardee per form sorting and segregation at its dispatch cen- ters. Each shipment will consist of straight (one product) pallet loads of various types of consumer goods freight destined for a retailer's distribution center in Miami. Sorting and segregation at Hardee's locations would consist of breaking the pallets and sorting the freight by the retailer's store locations, then repalletizing into rainbow (mixed products) pallets for cach store Hardee has never experienced this type of request before. Jim knows that he needs to put some type of costs to this move to make sure that the moves are profitable. Because of the large volume involved, not covering Hardee's costs in pricing could result in large losses for Hardce. The relevant information for costing this move is as folhas.
