Did you know?

Up to 40% of a freight planner’s day is consumed by repetitive, manual tasks, from juggling multiple load boards to recalculating driver availability.

The daily grind of freight planning is no secret: spreadsheets stacked on spreadsheets, dispatchers buried in load boards and razor-thin margins that make every decision feel high-stakes. For most carriers, this is just the reality of doing business.

But what if it doesn’t have to be?

Ploger Transportation faced the same challenges you probably recognize – manual dispatching, organizational silos, constant firefighting and a planning team stretched to its limits. Hiring wasn’t an option. Neither was accepting the status quo.

Their solution? A decision automation platform that fundamentally changed how they operate.

The results were immediate:

• 14.6% increase in revenue per mile
• 21.4% jump in load volume
• Planners freed from the grind to focus on strategy and relationships
• Drivers happier with more predictable, productive schedules

But here’s what makes this study worth your time: Ploger didn’t just implement new software. They transformed their entire planning culture and discovered that the real value of automation isn’t just about efficiency. It’s about unlocking capacity you didn’t know you had.

Download the case study to see how they navigated the implementation, overcame change management hurdles, and built a foundation for scalable growth in one of the toughest freight markets in recent memory.
