Reducing Downtime for a Reefer Carrier

Apr 29, 2024

Scenario:

A refrigerated carrier was frequently driving with empty trucks between loads, causing fuel waste and reducing profitability. They needed better load planning and coordination with brokers to stay profitable.

How our team at GoldenStars Dispatching Helped:

GoldenStars implemented a strategic route plan, focusing on backhauls and regions with high demand for refrigerated freight. We reduce the carrier’s deadhead miles by 35% and ensured that their trucks stayed consistently loaded. This boosted their revenue and improved the utilization rate of their fleet, keeping more trucks on the road with minimal downtime.
