Case study shows how C.R. England integrated Manhattan Carrier with its existing dispatch system to cut empty miles, improve tractor utilization, and reduce training time.
C.R. England, a temperature-controlled truckload carrier, implemented Manhattan Carrier without replacing its highly customized dispatch system. The solution added integrated planning, fuel cost modeling, and Drop&Swap functionality. Within six months the carrier reduced empty miles 3%, out-of-route miles 5%, and training time for new operations staff by 60% while handling higher volumes without added headcount.
