Manhattan Associates Helps Celadon Trucking Increase Driver Retention
26 June 2013 - 10:30PM
Driver retention has increased for Celadon Trucking Inc.
(NYSE:CGI), one of North America's largest truckload carriers,
thanks in part to solutions from Manhattan Associates'
(Nasdaq:MANH) Carrier Management™ product suite. Manhattan
Driver&Load™ and Manhattan Drop&Swap™ also improved
deadhead by 3.5 percent, reduced the ratio of Celadon Trucking's
administrative staff to drivers by 9 percent and increased on-time
deliveries by more than 7.5 percent.

"With these results, not only do we drive out inefficiencies,
but we garner improvements in profitability led from increased
utilization, decreased deadhead, and improved driver satisfaction,"
said Michael Gabbei, chief information officer, Celadon Trucking.
"Without the help of Manhattan we would see a significant decrease
in home time compliance and a significant increase in
deadhead."
Celadon is one of the safest truckload carriers, with multiple
first-place finishes in the Truckload Carriers Association's
National Fleet Safety Awards among carriers annually logging more
than 100 million miles. Celadon employs approximately 4,000
employees and operates roughly 3,300 tractors and 10,000 trailers.
Its customer base includes Fortune 500 shippers such as General
Electric, Philip Morris, Wal-Mart, DaimlerChrysler, Procter &
Gamble, and Target.
"We used to spend a lot of time chasing our tails because we
could only look at one truck and one load at a time," said Matt
Douglass, director of planning and optimization, Celadon Trucking.
"Driver and customer satisfaction are our top priority, and the
Manhattan system has given us a complete overview so that we know
what all the trucks and all the loads are doing across our
network."
Manhattan Driver&Load and Drop&Swap's visibility and
insight allows companies to identify and address potential network
issues, such as on-time pickup and delivery, driver home-time needs
and network imbalances before they become unsalvageable.
