A Trimble Case Study
Magnum, a North Dakota–based carrier, operates a 200‑truck, 500‑trailer less‑than‑truckload (LTL) division hauling everything from healthcare supplies to hazardous materials. The company struggled with a failed in‑cab electronic scanning solution that produced poor image quality, frequent device breakdowns and costly monthly fees, forcing drivers and back‑office staff to rescan and manually process documents at night.
Magnum replaced the failing system with Vector’s in‑cab scanning integrated into Trimble’s hardware, gaining far better image quality, fewer devices in the cab and rapid customizations during rollout. The new setup sped up document collection and invoicing, improved driver experience with barcode scanning and prefilled fields, delivered about $5,000/month in subscription savings, and provided responsive support—prompting plans to expand the solution to inspections and freight imaging.
