A Samsara Case Study
Los Angeles‑based TCI Transportation operates a fleet of more than 2,000 trucks and nearly 1,000 employees, serving retail, manufacturing, food service and logistics clients. Although they used McLeod LoadMaster®, their previous telematics lacked full GPS, HOS and workflow integration, forcing dispatchers to rely on paper manifests and manual order updates, which delayed routing, order closeouts, and billing.
By implementing Samsara’s integration with McLeod—adding geofencing, route‑tracking windows, real‑time GPS/HOS visibility, digital driver forms and training—TCI automated route assignment, status updates and document capture. The change freed dispatcher time, sped up billing (including detention charges), revealed under‑priced routes, and delivered measurable benefits: 988 hours saved per year and an 18% reduction in accidents.
