When should a transport operator use dedicated recovery capacity?
Dedicated recovery capacity fits missed collections, breakdown rescue, rejected trunk freight, out-of-gauge exceptions and final-mile failures where the original network cannot protect the commitment. The subcontract plan should preserve the principal carrier's customer instructions, reference structure, communication rules and proof requirements from collection through closeout.
- Vehicle breakdown and load rescue
- Missed trunk or cut-off recovery
- Overflow and peak-capacity support
- Specialist final-mile or site-delivery exceptions
Operational control for carrier support
What protects the principal carrier's customer relationship?
A written communication protocol should define branding, who contacts the shipper and consignee, which references appear on proof, and how exceptions are escalated. The recovery carrier needs enough information to execute safely without creating conflicting messages, unauthorised promises or direct commercial discussion with the end customer.
| Control | Agreement |
|---|---|
| Identity | Branded, neutral or principal-carrier representation. |
| Communication | Who may contact each party and what can be discussed. |
| References | Job, consignment and purchase-order fields required on proof. |
| Exception route | Named operational and commercial escalation contacts. |
How the movement is controlled
How is a failed transport leg recovered cleanly?
Operations confirms load condition, custody, location and the original service commitment before selecting recovery capacity. The new vehicle receives controlled collection and delivery instructions under the agreed communication protocol. Proof and exception evidence return to the principal carrier so its transport-management record remains complete and customer communication stays consistent.
Restate the commitment
Record the latest acceptable delivery and customer communication rule.
Dispatch recovery capacity
Match vehicle, handling, route and compliance requirements to the load.
Return the record
Supply proof, timings, waiting and exception evidence to the principal carrier.
How is a failed transport leg recovered?
Operations identifies the failed leg, cargo location, delivery commitment and handling requirement before sourcing replacement capacity. The recovery vehicle is then controlled against the real customer deadline, not the original schedule.

- Driver rescue consignments
- Freight-forwarding exceptions
