Offering Dry Van Transportation Services
Gray Transportation operates in 48 states. Our drivers average 2,500-3,400 miles a week and are home on a regular basis. The fleet consists of 175 sleeper and day cab trucks with 500 dry van trailers, our fleet is growing every year due to consistent company freight. Trucks will not be over 3 three years old. Right now we are 2019 to 2021 units only. The trucks are reliable and meet our customer's needs as well as our driver's comfort. The sleeper trucks all are equipped with APU's, refrigerators, inverters and have double bunks.
Gray Transportation's trucks are leased from Ryder and maintained by Ryder also. Ryder has over 800 shops nationwide, this allows Gray immediate access to qualified repair facilities. In the case that the truck will be down, Ryder will provide a loaner truck to reduce any driver down time. We will keep you moving!
Gray Transportation invested in McLeod Software in March of 2017. McLeod is the leading software provider servicing the transportation industry. This software is not only helping Gray become a more efficient carrier, but it is adding value in creating driver friendly applications. The investment in this software will provide Gray Transportation a competitive edge over our competition.
Gray Transportation has made the investment in an innovative program that Omnitracs has to offer called Workflow. This program is all about making day to day Electronic Logging easier on the drivers. It simplifies the load information received by a driver and reduces it all into the most basic and precise method of receiving load assignments. It formats your loads in a way that gives you stop by stop locations, fuel stops, navigation, appointment times, load numbers and trailer numbers all in one easy to access application. You are no longer required to read 15+ messages per load and are no longer required to send in messages when arriving to or departing a stop. We have had nothing but positive feedback from our drivers using this program and hear about how easy to use this program truly is.
The Logix Anywhere mobile capturing application allows the Driver to use their smartphone to submit images of documents without the need of using a scanner or fax machine. This application reduces the hassle of having to fax or mail in your weekly payroll documents. This app also allows you to view your weekly payroll settlements.
The Driver Scorecard is a tool to aide in monitoring and reviewing each Driver's historical performance improvement. Gray's customized scorecard measures the Driver's performance based upon Key Performance Indicators (KPI) including: fuel mileage, fuel compliance, idle time, clean inspections, tenure, accidents, service and CSA points. This review is a face-to-face meeting you the Driver, Dispatcher and Management representative. This is a great opportunity for Drivers to provide input, ask questions or address any issues.
Gray Transportation maintains a Satisfactory Safety Record with the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration. Gray has a strong partnership with our insurance agent and we identify deficiencies while working together to create programs that help us achieve compliance. All of the programs listed above also play a direct role in achieving compliance.
Although the Weigh My Truck is not a McLeod app, it is an app that our Drivers take advantage of. This app allows drivers to pull onto the scale, view their weights and pay for the scale all without getting out of the truck.
