The transportation team even looked at Big Lots' own practices to help them get control of ever-higher transportation costs. For instance, improving the efficiency of inbound deliveries helped the shipper reduce its per-diem costs, such as trailer-detention and demurrage charges, by some 90 percent. And a new cross-docking program between the company's furniture distribution centers and its closeout DCs has led to significant savings because stores receive just one delivery now instead of two.
