In an effort to keep their long haul truckers happy while away from home, a Chattanooga-based transport company turned to a software solution. Real time feedback helps pinpoint individual needs allowing the company to solve problems more quickly. A case study of the new system reveals it has reduced driver turnover last year and saved the company over a half a million dollars in hiring related costs.
Key Takeaways:
- Southern Refrigerated Transport, one of the trucking subsidiaries of the Chattanooga, Tennessee-based Covenant Transport, prides itself on its family atmosphere.
- According to American Trucking Associations, driver turnover in the industry among longhaul drivers is more than 100%.
- SRT was able to cut its turnover by using a Chattanooga-based software company that helps carriers like SRT get better and faster feedback from drivers on the road.
