A Descartes MacroPoint Case Study
U.S. Xpress Logistics, the brokerage division of the nation’s fifth-largest truckload carrier, needed a simple, scalable way to track every load as it grew—without relying on unreliable driver check calls. They required a solution that could provide consistent visibility across all partner carriers and integrate with their TMS.
By deploying MacroPoint’s automated freight-tracking software, U.S. Xpress Logistics now gets real-time location updates for every shipment via drivers’ cell phones, automated arrival/departure detection, off-schedule alerts and breadcrumb mapping, all integrated into their TMS. The result: 100% visibility across partner carriers, elimination of driver check calls, faster exception management and a scalable solution they can roll out across the brokerage.
