DP3...Where are we? • April 15 critical milestone – PPM comes online within DPS…floodgates opened! • Broken promise – “We will not role out during Peak Season.” • Currently almost 70% of ALL DOD traffic moving through DPS…BUT what does this really mean? No more JOLT! • As a result it is VERY likely we will not have a summer TOPS Solicitation. • Damn the torpedoes…Full Speed Ahead!!
2010 Peak Season Review • Domestic Capacity Issues….Why? IAM says…… • Shift in volume to DPS right before Peak Season • Recession caused reduction in drivers/crews • Rates • Traffic Distribution Methodology – “Feast or Famine” • Increase in Commercial Traffic – COD & Nat Acct • Lack of Granularity in Blackout Capability • Little data to help determine when and how much traffic a TSP will receive • DPS Performance Issues & shift in responsibilities from PPSOs to TSPs • PPSO response to TSP requests, e.g. SIT, pre-approvals
2010 Peak Season Review • International Capacity Issues…. • Agent capacity – overcome with issues associated with Domestic Market, e.g. - APUs, short notice shipments, reduction in work force • Liftvans – some faced difficulties in replenishing liftvans in a timely fashion • Lack of Granularity in Blackout Capability • Little data to help determine when and how much traffic a TSP will receive….if any at all • PPSO response to TSP requests, e.g. SIT, pre-approvals • Overall…..International Market did NOT face the same major capacity issues that were seen in the Domestic arena!!!!!
“Looking Ahead” • Aug 16 & 17 – SDDC Peak Season “After Action” Meeting – Major Discussion Topics • Blackout Capability • Shipment Distribution • Short Fuse Shipments • Capacity/Turnbacks/Refusals • Rates • TSP/Agent Relationship • CFAC or Redefining what is meant by…TSP
“Looking Ahead” cont. • We must ensure that program changes made to the overcome issues faced in the Domestic Market do not have a detrimental effect to the International Market. • We need to look at each Market independently. Each is unique! • Enhanced financials requirements are a real possibility! • SDDC’s new perspective on CSS….
Open Season • No!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY?…….2010 Peak Season Issues • SDDC worried about bringing new TSPs into the “flawed” DP3/DPS environment • Will new TSPs bring new capacity??? • Will we have an Open Season next year??? • Will new program entry guidelines be established?? CFAC, tougher financial restrictions
DTM 09-012 – Base Access • OSD Directive-Type Memorandum - Dec 2009 • Establishes minimum DOD base access policies • Bases must implement by October 1, 2010 • Local employees must be vetted and provided a local base access card. No card….No access • Most over-the-road personnel are looking at the access approved – Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) • https://twicprogram.tsa.dhs.gov/TWICWebApp/AboutTWIC.do
DP3 – Phase III • Draft Business Rules issued in April 2010 • Comments due June 1, IAM asked for and received an extension until July 1 • IAM established a “Phase III Task Force” – group issued over 200 comments to the rules. SDDC & Transcom received a total of 678 comments. • Three new markets: • Domestic Small Market (dS2) • Local Moves • NTS • We are waiting on Transcom’s response.
BRAC Base Realignment and Closure – 2005 Must be completed by end of FY11 (Sept 2011) Army is the major service affected Right now the bulk of Personal Property moves to occur in 3rd & 4th quarter FY11 (April-September 2011) – 20,000 moves??? PEAK SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!

ENHANCING MEMBER SERVICES • A Greater Understanding of how IAM serves it members: • IAM Shipper Guides • Receivable Protection Program (RPP) • Hall of Honor • YP-35 • Development of the Numeric Codification of Contents for Electronic Inventories and Manifests of Household Goods and Personal Shipments. • A Better Comprehension on how to take advantage of IAM Programs • A view to the future on what initiatives IAM is working on for the Members’ benefit.
IAM Shipper Guides • Over the past year, IAM has updated over 60 Shipper Guides. • After the Annual Meeting, IAM will be soliciting customs updates from countries that we do not have updates for. • What does the future hold? • Create a Shipper Guide for each of the different countries represented in our membership • Maintain Shipper Guides once created • Develop applications for mobile devices to access the Shipper Guides remotely • Generate consumer referrals from the Shipper Guide website to our member’s websites • Establish a more user-friendly webpage for the Shipper Guides
The Receivable Protection Program (RPP) • Statistics: • 110 Members currently enrolled • IAM received seven different claims for the 2009-2010 fiscal year • In total, IAM paid out $21,014.17 to satisfy those claims. • Averaged out, IAM is paying out just over $3,000 per claim this year. • The fee to sign up right now is $650. • In the future, IAM will be instituting a new feature for the RPP. • The new feature will be an Invoice Dispute Resolution Program. • During the past year, IAM has ramped up oversight and intervention. • By tracking this information, it has heightened our ability to predict those companies who may initiate RPP Claims. • IAM will publish a list of the alleged debtors that we have on file only to RPP Members.
The IAM Hall of Honor • 32 people have been inducted into the Hall of Honor since its initiation three years ago. • Improvements made to the Hall of Honor in the past year: • Greater Geographic Viewpoint with the inclusion of an Asia-based Selection Committee Member. • New voting system that increases impartiality during voting. • A limit on the number of inductees per year. • Please nominate those people who you feel are worthy of inclusion in the Hall of Honor. • Link to Hall of Honor Nomination form: http://iamovers.org/alerts/2010/0910_HoH_Nomination_Form_2011.pdf
Young Professionals (YP-35) • As of September 15th, the YP-35 has 178 members. • At this point last year, there were only 103 members. • Governing Members can sign up three YP-35 members free of charge. • These statistics represent a renewed enthusiasm among young professionals throughout our industry. • What is responsible for the greater enthusiasm: • A greater commitment from IAM to provide support to the YP-35. • Outreach efforts like the YP-35 sponsorship of the Young Movers Conference. • Enhanced communication to members • IAM’s membership reclassification. • A new Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are set to take over after the meeting.
YP-35 • What does the future hold? • Harness the YP-35 to take the lead on IAM’s new partnership with Carbonfund.org. • Cultivate stronger links between other industry youth-oriented groups through a Young Movers Leadership Summit • Development of a YP-35 Mentorship Program • Study tours • Each of these programs would promote the professional development of YP-35 members, increase their contacts worldwide, and benefit the IAM membership as well. • Most importantly, these initiatives would help develop the leadership skills of young members in our Association.
Development of Electronic Numeric Code Codification Standard • The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved the standard in late July. • The standards have been developed with assistance from our partners at FIDI, FEDEMAC, CAM, AMSA, PAIMA, and other associations throughout the world. • IAM will be submitting the standard to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). • International Recognition of the Standard would yield certain benefits: • Greater Business Efficiency • Better Ability to Comply with Future Customs Regulations
