Dedicated hauler eases dispatching with tailored system

摘要

When your business,is primarily dedicated carriage, including hauling just-in-time freight, productivity must be top of mind. And it is for Bluegrass Trucking, according to Director of Operations Chris Hart, whose father launched the family business in 1991 with one truck and one driver. "We capitalize on utilization of our equipment," says Hart. "Our business consists of roughly 90% dedicated freight, which requires a different structure than a lot of other trucking companies." The Harrodsburg, Kentucky-based firm, which also operates a terminal in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, has grown into a fleet of some 70 powered units and 350 trailers operated by a team of 115 drivers.
