ScrapBoss has been running in production at River Metals' Louisville yard for some time. What sort of ROI are they garnering? Here are some results from Steve McQuinn, their Transportation Manager:

• Drivers went from an average 11.5 hours per shift to 10 hours per shift because of efficiencies in dispatching and reduction in the driver paper workload. This resulted in a monthly savings of $40,128 for the 38 drivers.
• The office staff is saving 75 hours per week on manual entry of trip tickets. This freed one person to handle supplier phone calls and enabled a second person to spend more time ensuring truck safety compliance.
  

In addition, there are intangibles such as:

• Containers that have not been misplaced or lost
• Increased business due to improved service
• Driver accountability-a driver's route can be retraced on a map from GPS data, eliminating fraudulent damage claims against company trucks
• The ability to show true transportation costs to management–not guesses
