Digital Load Tracking Is Saving Millions for Roadwork Fleets
In the dead of night, a fleet of trucks would move down Mississippi Highway 90, hauling asphalt for an overlay project. To most, this would look like the model of logistical precision. But behind the scenes, Jacob Hickman, Asset Manager at Huey P Stockstill LLC (HPS), saw something different: despite making quick turns at the plant, trucks were waiting at the jobsite for up to an hour to unload. How did he know? Simple. Digital load tracking.
