Helping a Refrigerated Carrier Increase Capacity and Improve Fleet Utilization
A growing regional refrigerated carrier was experiencing increased demand from food and grocery customers but faced challenges securing additional trailer capacity during peak shipping periods.
The company’s leadership team wanted to expand revenue opportunities while maintaining service levels and protecting temperature-sensitive freight.
PLM partnered with the carrier to evaluate freight patterns, equipment utilization, maintenance costs, and seasonal demand fluctuations. Through a consultative assessment, PLM developed a fleet strategy that provided flexible capacity and enhanced equipment visibility without requiring a significant capital investment.
The carrier’s existing fleet frequently operated near maximum utilization, making it difficult to accept additional freight opportunities or quickly respond to customer needs. Equipment downtime and limited access to supplemental capacity created operational constraints that impacted growth.
At the same time, customers were increasingly requesting visibility into shipment status and temperature conditions while freight was in transit.
By improving access to refrigerated capacity and increasing visibility across fleet operations, the carrier was able to create greater flexibility throughout its network and improve overall equipment utilization.The enhanced fleet strategy helped position the company to pursue new business opportunities, maintain temperature integrity, and improve service performance during peak freight periods.
Today, PLM continues to support the carrier with flexible refrigerated fleet solutions, proactive maintenance support, and operational insights that help keep trucks moving and customers satisfied.
