Case Study: R.T. Corporation achieves fuel and mileage savings with MyRouteOnline

FedEx Contractor Saves Fuel with Routing Service

R.T. Corporation, Inc., a small trucking company that services FedEx Ground routes in Ahwatukee, Arizona, faces complex routing and driver-training challenges because the neighborhood’s limited access and non–grid street pattern make efficient sequencing difficult. With three drivers handling up to 220 stops a day and a program that trains military veterans, drivers could take months to learn routes and frequently backtrack, increasing miles driven and delivery risk.

Owner Elizabeth Pratt-McRae adopted MyRouteOnline.com, importing FedEx address lists each morning to create printed routes for drivers and manually adding last‑minute stops as needed; the tool sped up training and day‑to‑day planning. The result: routes dropped from over 150 miles to under 100 miles, cutting fuel use and wear-and-tear, improving scheduling efficiency, and offering a model other FedEx contractors could use to save time and money.
