864.486.1962 DTS - Dedicated Transportation Solutions Aprivate Fleet Alternative SOLUTIONS We take a consultative approach to each customer. Needs, spend, products, service requirements, and KPI's are all different, and so should the transportation solution be. REQUEST MORE INFORMATION Moving perishable products such as bread, ice, or newspaper, is very different than recyclables, lumber, or liquid. Therefore the transportation solutions will be varied to meet the individual customer’s product and service requirements and goals. The first step in our process is information gathering to determine specific problems or areas of concern. We need to know what is being done currently, what is working and what is not. We will meet individually with employees involved in the process from floor employees to the officer level. With this approach we are able to determine any problem areas affecting the various employees and identify any conflict areas. These conflicts could include finance wanting to reduce delivery expense while sales wants to increase delivery frequency, or production wanting to load trailers in the morning instead of at night thereby changing the delivery windows. After determining goals, needs, and wants of all involved, our team works to develop a solution that best meets the overall goals of the company. From this process we develop alternate solutions that range from simple driver management, to routing and scheduling, to complete turnkey solutions involving warehousing, and all inbound and outbound transportation. We present these to the stakeholders, validating operational assumptions and finally determine the optimal solution that meets all cost and service goals. There are no two exactly alike. Our focus in transportation is to maximize the utilization of the truck, trailer, and driver while meeting all federal, state, and local laws. In doing this we are able to be more cost effective than most private fleets can operate in today's environment.

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS DTS-IIE INTEGRATED INFORMATION EXCHANGE Information is passed systematically and electronically from the customer, to iiE, then pushed out to the truck and driver through the on board computer and satellite system. The information is then available on the mobile display terminal in the truck detailing load information, route, contact information and any particular details related to the specific delivery. As the driver completes his route, satellite technology captures and sends data minute by minute from the engine, GPS location and driver, with speeds, time stamps, route traveled, fuel consumption, idle times, hard starts/stops and delivery information. Hard documentation such as Proof of delivery and Bills of lading are imaged into the system on the first fueling after the delivery allowing DTS customers to more quickly complete their order and bill their customer improving cash flow. This information is stored on DTS servers where real time alerts are sent if exceptions occur to instantly correct behavior before it becomes a costly problem. Customers can also get images of documents for their accounting and billing purposes. This information is also utilized by our accounting software, (Great Plains), to develop any number of customer cost metrics that are important.Management reports can be manually run, or set to run automatically on literally thousands of preset reports or customized for specific items. 100 Augusta Arbor Way Greenville, SC 29605 864.486.1962 solutions@dtsolutions.net HOME ABOUT US OUR SOLUTIONS CAREERS CASE STUDIES FAQ'S CONTACT Copyright © 2021 Dedicated Transportation Solutions Inc.
