35 Fleet Vehicles

Increased Productivity

Whimsy Trucking, Inc. started in 1996 in Bensenville, IL with one truck on the road doing contract cartage. Today, they have a fleet of 35 vehicles with locations in Illinois and Missouri and soon to come, Nebraska and Minnesota. Services they currently offer include intermodal, LTL and OTR, warehousing and yard storage, trans-loading, and rail transport of containers.

The Challenges

Whimsy Trucking, Inc. was looking for a better way to monitor their pick-up and delivery times to ensure that the service they promise to customers was being carried out. Eliminating phone calls to their drivers and increasing productivity was also a priority.

The Benefits

After installing FleetMatics' gps tracking system, Whimsy Trucking, Inc. has seen tremendous savings in wage costs and fuel costs through improved efficiencies. They are now able to accurately track hours worked and time spent at a job. Customer service has increased as well as they can now easily monitor vehicle activity throughout the day and track deliverability.

The Savings

"Since installing FleetMatics fleet tracking, our productivity has significantly increased. In our first year alone, we are on course to saving over $75,000 in wages and by reducing unnecessary idling time, we will see savings of over $10,000 in fuel costs."
