Drivers Drive and Loaders Load
The Demountable system requires that delivery drivers do nothing but drive. This generates revenue for the company. Consequently, a group of loaders at the warehouse do nothing but load. They become “professional” loaders, and this will ultimately result in fewer damaged goods.
Reduce Fuel Costs
By shuttling multiple bodies on a Demountable semi-trailer companies can reduce fuel costs.
Expand your business outside of your local area
By shuttling bodies to outlying stores you can efficiently expand your business without duplication of warehousing and personnel.
Hire the best drivers in a local market and reduce driver turnover
Being able to go into a local market to find and hire the best three or four drivers is a lot better than finding 75 drivers in and around the distribution center.
Use one Central Distribution Center for delivering in markets up to 250 miles away
In a 10 hour shift a driver can deliver 2 full containers to a location as far away as 250 miles and safely return to the distribution.
Use one Central Distribution Center rather than several smaller ones
Concentrate all inventory, quality control personnel, professional loaders and Management at one location. The result is having one exceptional distribution center rather than several mediocre centers.
Increase stops per truck
By pre-loading bodies, delivery drivers can make more stops per day. Time is not wasted with long drives to the first stop or having the drivers load their own trucks.
Load two bodies (up to 26’ long each) through one loading door
Each demountable body has a front and rear door. When the bodies are at the distribution center, you can walk through the back body and into the front body to load. We provide a hinged “bridge” plate in the front of each body. This plate closes the three-inch gap between the front and back body.
Early first AM delivery
By shuttling the demountable bodies at night, it insures that loaded bodies are in the Market early for the next day. We have customers who report a flawless success rate for first delivery by 7 AM to customers by using our Demountable System. This was simply not possible with conventional delivery systems.
Increase Driver Productivity
By taking long drives and loading away from the delivery drivers, drivers will become more productive. They will spend more time generating revenue by delivering more product. With proper planning, driver teams can return to the yard, demount empty bodies and pick up another full body to make a second run in one day.
Inexpensive Delivery Drivers
By using lighter vehicles (under 26,000#), final delivery can be done using less expensive non-CDL drivers. In addition, using non-CDL trucks means that both driver and helper can participate in daily driving.
Reduce Payroll Costs
By using one well-designed central distribution center, shuttling bodies at night and reducing long pre-delivery drives, overall payroll costs will be reduced.
