The Shift to Drop & Hook

How a mid-sized manufacturer eliminated detention fees and secured capacity by switching from live loading to NoDwell.

The Challenge

A regional CPG manufacturer was relying 100% on live loading. With fluctuating production schedules, drivers were often waiting 3-4 hours at the dock.

The Result:

  • $15,000/month in detention fees.
  • High carrier rejection rates (drivers hate waiting).
  • Missed delivery appointments due to HOS expirations.

The NoDwell Solution

NoDwell implemented a fractional spotter service to manage a drop trailer pool. Instead of live loading, the manufacturer pre-loaded trailers working at their own pace. NoDwell's shared yard truck moved the trailers to a secure staging area.

The best part? NoDwell's service cost is less than them running and managing their yard truck internally.
