Schneider found out that over two-thirds of their customers want to know where the trailer is at all times and if it is loaded or unloaded.
Moreover, the customer is willing to reward the carrier who offers trailer tracking with more business stated Schneider.
In addition, using the new system, Schneider National will experience productivity and efficiency gains in trailer asset management and utilization. These gains will increase driver productivity and job satisfaction, enhance customer service and increase trailer security.
Utilizing the technology, Schneider National gains visibility and will be able to monitor status (loaded or empty), location, and know if a trailer is hooked to or unhooked from a tractor or a rail car.
Arves added, "The tracking data allows Schneider National to achieve optimal equipment positioning and utilization so that customers' requests for capacity can be filled faster than ever before."
