Maximising Efficiency In Grain Harvest Season

Grain harvest season has kicked off in Australia, and MyTrucking’s transport management software has a tonne of features that can help ease the load on your path to maximising efficiency in grain harvest season.

When we talk about running a successful business, efficiency is a word that crops up time and again. When you’re under the pump, creating efficiencies and saving time is key.

Keeping drivers on the move

In Western Australia, Campbell Transport has cut down on paperwork and overcome the challenge of dispatching jobs to drivers in remote locations with the MyTrucking driver app.

With drivers often on the road for days, or even weeks, at a time, owner David Campbell says they wanted to get paperwork back immediately. This enabled them to invoice straight away, and check everything was correct, instead of going back weeks to verify things.

“We wanted to be able to give jobs to drivers without having to ring constantly to give them information,” he says.

Campbell’s agriculture operations manager, Leon Whittle, says MyTrucking has made the business run more efficiently.

“A lot of places we go to have bad cellphone reception, and we sometimes have trouble contacting drivers if they’re out of range. With the app, we put a load on and bang, it’s on their phone and they know exactly what they need to do – that makes it really easy.”
