Challenge
Coastal's reefer trucks were running a lot of empty miles between drop-offs and the next pickup, especially outside peak produce season when reefer freight was harder to find in some regions.
Solution
Fleet's reefer dispatchers rebuilt lane planning around seasonal produce corridors. We built relationships with shippers offering repeat backhaul freight, and booked return loads before the outbound delivery was even complete.
Results
Deadhead miles dropped substantially and loaded miles per truck per week increased. Cargo claims stayed at zero across the engagement thanks to consistent, cold-chain-aware load planning.
