Case Study: Maverick Transportation reduces empty miles and boosts utilization with Manhattan Associates' Manhattan Carrier

Maverick Pulls Ahead of the Competition With Manhattan Carrier

Maverick Transportation, a privately held flatbed carrier with more than 1,100 tractors and 1,300 employees, faced growing strain on its systems as it pursued customer service and a company-wide weekend home-time policy for drivers. Rapid growth made it difficult to keep commitments to customers and drivers and created a need for a real-time solution to automate driver-to-load assignments and maximize profitability.

Maverick implemented Manhattan Carrier™ modules—Driver&Load, Drop&Swap, Fuel&Route, Profit Analyzer and Load Analyzer—to match drivers to loads, optimize routes and fuel, manage swaps and analyze yield and customer profitability. The result: reduced empty miles, higher utilization, improved on-time pickups/deliveries, a 98% weekend home-time success rate for its fleet, and the ability to grow from 700 to 1,100 tractors in three years without a significant increase in non-driving staff.
