Collins Earthworks Double Their Fleet Size with Transport Software

Who are Collins Earthworks?

Collins Earthworks are one of the most renowned hauliers in the Midlands and operate their fleet nationwide. The company’s director, Jack Cave, wanted to grow the company in a cost-sensitive and efficient manner. As a result, Collins Earthworks implemented a Transport Management System (TMS) to help with the firm’s objective.

Within 24 months the company has doubled its total fleet size from 50 to 100 vehicles, without the need for additional resources or staff hiring and they chalk this success up to using HaulTech’s Transport Software.

Take a read below to see how the TMS has supported Collins administration staff with the company’s outstanding growth!

How does Transport Software support Dean and the other drivers at Collins?

Dean, a driver for Collins Earthworks, admits that he has never been a huge fan of technology and that he was hesitant about using the HaulTech.Connect driver app. Nevertheless, after adopting the application, Dean perceives it as a more effective method of working, as it has enabled him to:

  • Access a unified overview of their daily workload.
  • Receive live job alerts within the app.
  • Seamlessly capture customer signatures upon task completion, with automatic transmission to the system, streamlining the job-to-invoice process and reducing reliance on paper Proof of Delivery (POD) records.
