Show your calculations and the assigned cost below. [1] A PUD truck driver works ten hours serving local customers for an LTL carrier. On the route, the driver makes 12 stops at area industries. The driver averaged 25 miles per hour while driving and drove 150 miles. During the trip, the driver handled 80 separate shipments, filling 70% of his truck by weight and 65% by the cube. The route cost a total of $2450. Using the time strategy for PUD cost assignment, determine the costs to be assigned to Shipper A and each shipment if the driver handled 4 shipments (3 delivered, 1 picked up) at the stop, and took 40 minutes to serve the Shipper. Total Assigned Cost for Shipper A Assigned Cost for Each Shipment [2] An LTL linehaul truck route takes 15 hours to complete.
