Case Study: Paper Transport, Inc. saves $30K per month and improves trailer visibility with FleetLocate

Regional, For-hire Truckload Carrier Saves $30k per Month with Spireon’s FleetLocate Trailer Management Solution

Paper Transport, Inc. is a Wisconsin-based, regional for-hire truckload carrier founded in 1990 that runs hundreds of terminals across the Midwest and South and employs over 850 Class A drivers. The company faced chronic driver frustration and lost productivity when drivers arrived to find trailers still loaded — a problem that cost the fleet more than $100 per hour and exceeded $30,000 in monthly losses.

Paper Transport deployed Spireon’s FleetLocate with IntelliScan cargo sensing and integrated the data into its own APIs and mapping tools, giving operations and drivers real-time visibility into trailer status. The solution, now on 2,400 trailers (with 800 more planned), delivers about 99% cargo-sensor accuracy, eliminated the costly trailer-search inefficiency, improved customer visibility, and positioned the fleet for a seamless 3G-to-4G device upgrade.
