Case Study: Raider Express achieves near-real-time fleet visibility and efficiency with Fivetran

Raider Express Keeps on Truckin with Fivetran Snowflake and Tableau

Raider Express, a Fort Worth, Texas–based trucking company with 400 employees and 500 refrigerated trailers, needed near‑real‑time visibility into fuel efficiency, telematics, driver hours and dozens of other operational metrics to optimize routes, pricing and preventive maintenance. To solve this, Raider Express adopted Fivetran to replicate data from its on‑premise SQL Server into Snowflake and layered Tableau on top for visualization and alerts.

Fivetran’s managed data pipelines deliver near‑real‑time syncs into Snowflake, feeding Tableau dashboards and automated alerts that handle about 50,000 events daily and track over 500 predefined metrics. As a result, Raider Express gained instant operational visibility (queries that once took ~15 minutes now run in seconds), improved route profitability and driver utilization, increased failure prediction and response, and fostered a data‑driven culture — all enabled by Fivetran.
