Case Study: Dayton Freight achieves 98.75% on-time shipments and greater efficiency with Omnitracs Driver Workflow

Dayton Freight - Customer Case Study

Dayton Freight Lines is a private, union‑free LTL carrier founded in 1981 that serves more than 8,000 customers from 54 service centers across 13 Midwestern states. To stay profitable and maintain its customer‑first culture, Dayton needed to reduce administrative and fuel costs, eliminate manual, error‑prone processes, and improve driver satisfaction while keeping information flowing uninterrupted.

In 2008 Dayton deployed Omnitracs Driver Workflow and IVG to automate load assignments, event triggers and work forms and enable near‑real‑time data analysis. The solution cut data‑entry hours and errors, boosted operational efficiency and safety, and produced measurable results — 20% growth, 98.75% on‑time shipments, 99.8% claim‑free shipments, a 3% increase in stops per hour, 7.7% better MPG and preventable accidents down to 0.14 per million miles.
