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.

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.
