Building Supply Companies Reduce Fleet Costs and Overtime With Demountable Truck Bodies

“We made it our top priority to keep our drivers on the road as much as possible. The demountable body system allows us the opportunity to have all the boxes loaded and ready for the drivers early each morning.”

PROBLEM

Driver downtime in the millwork department was negatively impacting costs.

  • Late returning trucks were loaded on overtime or the next morning, resulting in higher labor costs.
  • Despite increase labor costs, delivery service suffered because drivers could not get on the road early.
  • The small staging area was always crowded with material waiting to be loaded, damaged goods costs were increasing.

SOLUTION

Implementation of the Demountable Truck Body System

  • Warehouse personnel can load freestanding bodies during the day while the trucks are making deliveries, keeping labor costs down.
  • With bodies always at the warehouse, the staging area remains clutter free and damages have been reduced.

With drivers leaving early, customer service has improved. Drivers can often do two trips per day with no downtime.
