John Christner Trucking Aligns for Growth and Efficiency with Manhattan Carrier™

Like many carriers, John Christner Trucking was challenged with maintaining high customer service levels and keeping drivers and equipment productive while staying compliant with Hours of Service (HOS) regulations.

Since implementing the Manhattan Carrier suite, John Christner Trucking has realized fast and dramatic gains. In addition to an immediate reduction in deadhead miles and other operational improvements, within an approximate two-year period ending April 2014, for example, the carrier raised its miles driven by 1.8% and increased its seated truck count by more than 8%. To boot, John Christner realized ROI from the solutions within only one month.
