Advance drayage ETA revisions before final delivery
An ETA can be accurate at the moment it is calculated and still arrive too late to help.
Earlier updates depend on imperfect handoffs across parties with different operating rhythms.
““A new ETA at noon doesn’t help when tomorrow’s dock plan was locked yesterday.””

What pulls against what
- early prediction vs. source-signal readiness
- corridor focus vs. broad coverage
- warehouse planning time vs. change-control safety
What is at stake

Why Project44
At Project44, this can matter because the timing of a prediction shapes whether transportation teams can use it operationally.
