"We made a strategic decision to step away from a manual process, and invest in freight consolidation that reduced operating costs, decreased miles and maximized our driver roster," said Darren Klaum, Business Systems Group director at PITT OHIO. "We were looking for more consistency and investing in Manhattan has been an effective use of our resources."
SuperSpin is designed to provide specialized and advanced visibility into Less than Truckload (LTL), small package, and Less than Containerload (LCL) shipments by helping design and evaluate changes to linehaul networks to save money and improve service.
