Transportation Company in Nevada Boosts Labor Utilization by 75% with Custom UKG/Kronos TimeClock

Efficient labor utilization is important for transportation companies. From drivers to supervisors, ensuring the right people are assigned to the right tasks at the right time is crucial for operational success. However, traditional paper-based timekeeping systems often fall short, leading to inefficiencies, employee dissatisfaction, and suboptimal labor utilization. This article explores the story of a transportation company near the Nevada-California border and how CloudApper’s UKG/Kronos TimeClock revolutionized their approach to timekeeping, resulting in a staggering 75% increase in labor utilization.

Transportation companies often manage a fleet of drivers and supervisors across different routes. They mostly rely on paper-based timesheets, creating a cumbersome and time-consuming process for tracking work hours. Manually tracking driver assignments and supervisor schedules made it difficult to optimize labor utilization. Drivers might be underutilized, while others face burnout from excessive workload. Tedious paperwork and a lack of transparency in workload distribution could lead to employee dissatisfaction and decreased morale. Manual processes were prone to errors, hindering accurate payroll calculations and informed decision-making.

According to a study by the American Trucking Association, inefficient employee utilization costs the transportation industry billions of dollars annually. This underscores the need for innovative solutions to optimize workforce management in this critical sector.
