The leading truck carriers are responsible for moving the majority of goods throughout the United States every year. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, trucks transported 71.6% or $10.4 trillion of the $14.5 trillion worth of goods shipped in the U.S. in 2017, the latest available data. This highlights the immense responsibility placed on both the carrier companies and their drivers each day. One way trucking firms can help reduce driver fatigue is by partnering with Labor Loop.
We work with trucking carriers to provide the support their drivers need, but only when it’s necessary. After a long haul, when your driver arrives at the loading dock, the situation changes. Instead of having the driver unload the cargo, Labor Loop’s teams will already be on-site at the warehouse or distribution center, ready to handle the unloading process while the driver takes a well-deserved break.
Our teams are prepared to first assess the condition of the pallets to ensure nothing has shifted and that everything is clear for further transport. We work swiftly and efficiently, following safety protocols at every step.
In addition to helping reduce driver fatigue, other factors come into play, such as state regulations that restrict drivers from moving pallets that exceed 500 lbs. The safety of the driver is another important consideration. Our teams are committed to safe unloading practices.
Across the nation, leading trucking carriers such as JB Hunt, Landstar, Schneider, Werner Enterprises, Stevens, U.S. Express, Crete, and Knight-Swift manage the transportation of goods, raw materials, and products from ports and rail hubs to warehouses and distribution centers. To optimize supply chain efficiency, contact Labor Loop to learn how our unloading services can support your drivers at each destination.
