Cut Overtime and Fleet Costs with Demountable Truck Bodies
"Our loaders are no
longer required to work overtime to load our trucks. The Demountable
system is trouble-free, and because the bodies are preloaded,
our drivers are always on the road early."
Ron Vespa, Vice-President
SUPERSEAL MANUFACTURING COMPANY
South Plainfield, New Jersey
PROBLEM
Driver down time
and warehouse inefficiency
- Loading for the next day could not begin
until trucks returned to the warehouse.
- Overtime expenses and fleet costs increased
rapidly as the company expanded into new market areas.
- The staging area became cluttered as orders
were being picked.
- Double handling of products increased the
amount of damaged goods.
SOLUTION
Implementation of the
TruckTainer Demountable Body System
- Free-standing bodies can be loaded during
normal business hours for the next day's deliveries, which
has greatly reduced overtime expenses.
- Fleet costs are lower because extra trucks
are not required.
- Drivers can get on the road early, thus
providing customers the service they demand.
- Picking an order and loading it directly
into a body has eliminated double handling of product, kept
the staging area tidy, and reduced the amount of damaged
good
