DTS - Dedicated Transportation Solutions Aprivate Fleet Alternative

DTS provides a complete turnkey operation and the customer receives one bill each week for the service.  Focus energy on growing and improving your core business. DTS eliminates the need to manage multiple cost centers and vendors, including equipment bills from leasing and maintenance companies, fuel purchases, driver leasing companies, Payroll companies, drug and Alcohol testing labs, Equipment insurance policies, benefits for associated drivers to mention a few.

A reduction in overall costs can come in a number of ways - we leverage decades of experience fine detail management to get results. Dynamic route management, proper fleet sizing and utilization rates of trucks and drivers are the core drivers we use. DTS will provide on board computers with satellite tracking capabilities that provide the shortest route directions to the driver, and provide information about the truck and driver on speed, MPG, idle time, harsh braking and starting incidents and detention at stops. With this technology, we are able to monitor the truck and driver from our internet based tracking system providing literally minute-by-minute updates allowing DTS to reduce accident potential, improve MPG, reduce unnecessary miles, and through the use of our in-house brokerage generate revenue by filling the truck on the return trip home if you desire.

Reduction in time spent and potential DOT fines and Audit exposure regarding regulatory compliance issues such as Department of Transportation, Driver Hours of Service, Drug and Alcohol testing including Chain of Custody, Log Audits, and maintaining company CSA scores.

Even though the truck and driver still have your company logo and uniform on them (if you wish), the equipment is no longer owned or leased by you. The driver no longer works for you. Transportation is likely the riskiest part of your business today, but should an accident of any kind happen, DTS is the liable party, not our client. The resulting elimination of insurance liability and workers compensation exposure stops enormous unpredictable and non-budgeted costs.

Elimination of driver recruiting, driver file maintenance, hiring, disciplinary issues, drug testing etc. Reduce a high cost workers compensation area of truck driver. No need to manage health and medical benefits, 401K programs and life insurance. All provided by DTS.

You are not limited to only your 10 trucks and drivers. DTS can provide additional trucks and drivers to meet peak needs, daily, weekly, or for a peak season. You are not held hostage by your divers knowing you do not have an alternative , and have to staff with spare truck and driver just in case of a sickness. DTS will cross train other drivers to deliver your product so there will not be an issue if someone calls in sick. DTS will provide a replacement driver for vacations and unexpected illness allowing the customer to confidently commit to product deliveries. We have 24/7 dispatch office staffing monitoring that the drivers start on time to assure deliveries are made on time. If a driver does not leave on time, we know it before it becomes a problem and arrangements are made with other drivers to make the delivery. Most private fleets don’t know there is a problem until the customer calls and ask “where is my load?”

Real time data is at our client’s fingertips via a customized dashboard of what is important you. On time delivery statistics, detention time, load frequency, load accuracy, number of deliveries, transit time - you tell us what you need, and we make sure you have it. 

Increased reporting and visibility of the fleet through the use of internet based, real-time satellite tracking technology interfaced with in-house data management programs means continuous improvement is measurable and achievable. 

Our Founder and President Scott Stowers is still active in the business every day. Decisions are made quickly and effectively without the need to wait for others approval.
