I've been told that when OTM is planning a shipment it looks at both equipment utilization and cost, but that it looks at equipment utilization first. Can anyone confirm if this is true?
If so, then I'm also wondering if anyone can provide some recommendations on how to configure OTM to look at price over utilization, if this can even feasibly be done.
In our situation we have many equipment groups and it is well within the realm of reason that one service provider's piece of equipment (small) may have a higher freight cost than another service provider's piece of equipment (not so small) and we need the least cost solution to be chosen, not the best equipment utilization.
