What is Time in Transit?

Transit Time measures the total duration from when a shipment is picked up to when it is delivered. At Reveel, we include weekends and non-business days in our calculation to accurately reflect the total time it took for the package to arrive.

For example, if a package is shipped on a Thursday and delivered on the following Tuesday, the transit time would be 5 days. We exclude the shipment day from the calculation, as pickups typically occur at the end of the day:

  • Thursday – Pickup day (not included in the calculation)
  • Friday – Day 1
  • Saturday – Day 2
  • Sunday – Day 3
  • Monday – Day 4
  • Tuesday – Day 5 (delivery day is included in the calculation)

VITAL FACTOR GRAPHS


Average Transit Time by Service (Bar Chart)
This bar chart displays the average transit time for each service level, calculated as the difference between the delivery and shipment date. It provides you with a quick and simple overview of how long, on average, each service level takes to deliver.

Over Time (Line Chart)
This line chart displays the average transit time over time. It will calculate the average transit time across all services if no specific service levels are selected. This visualization helps you track whether carriers are improving or slowing down over time and also enables side-by-side comparisons of transit times between carriers.
