Millwork Distributors Increase Shipping Volume With the Use of Demountable Truck Bodies

“We now load during regular working hours since we always have demountable bodies here. We’ve increased our shipping volume with no increase in personnel or power units.”

PROBLEM

Labor costs associated with loading late returning trucks on overtime.

  • Loading for the next day could not begin until trucks returned to the warehouse.
  • Loading often continued into the next morning, resulting in drivers getting a late start on their deliveries.
  • With orders already pulled, the staging area was cluttered until the trucks returned.

SOLUTION

Implementing the Demountable Truck Body System

  • With bodies at the warehouse, all loading is completed during normal business hours.
  • Customer delivery service has greatly improved with no significant increase in fleet or labor costs.

Overtime costs associated with loading late returning trucks has been eliminated.
