Client ROI – Solutions Unique to Their Needs
"We started with Infinit-i™ in 2008, and our fuel economy was at 6.1
MPG. In 2009 we improved to 6.5 MPG and we started 2010 at 6.9
MPG. By training, counseling and continually working with our
drivers…the efficiency of operation saves them and/or the company
money, everyone profits as a result of those efforts, and the job gets
easier."
- Jack Curry, Safety Director
American Central Transport (A.C.T)
Liberty, Missouri 64069
Savings for ACT
2008 vs 2009 = $1.4 Million
2009 vs 2010 = $1.3 Million
Based on $4.00 per gallon of gas and 300 Trucks
Client ROI – Solutions Unique to Their Needs
“The formalization of our OS&D (Overages Shortages & Damage)
process and procedures including the proper checking and reporting
of temperature controlled shipments, the increased effort to
properly secure the freight and an enhanced monitoring of OS&D
incidents has allowed SRT to reduce its OS&D expenses. This has
produced a dollar reduction of over 75% for OS&D expenses from
2008 to 2009.”
Jim Dodd – CFO
Southern Refrigerated Transport
During a 2012 Infinit-i webinar, Vern Edwards, Director of
Safety at Paramount Transportation Logistics (and
subsidiaries) shared how his company has utilized Infinit-i
and the results thus far.
They use Infinit-i to distribute the company newsletter, perform accident
follow-up, post-violation response, as well as proactive behavior
modification. He has been very pleased by the response from drivers and
operations personnel. He mentioned that the drivers feel more connected
to the company and many have made the training a family affair. Vern
credits the Infinit-i program as a major factor in reducing driver turnover.
We went from a 172% turnover rate to a 92% turnover rate in one year
The math is simple roughly $600 a day revenue lost for every day a truck
sits empty without a driver, Now that is a ROI not to overlook!!
Vern Edwards
Director of Safety
One of the companies is based in Colorado and has been through an
intervention and Compliance Review. Vern stated that Infinit-i is a critical
component in the Safety Management Cycle. They now require shop,
dispatch, and sales personnel to participate in the training and results are
monitored by all departments. He believes this has reduced the amount of
“finger pointing” within the company.
