Swift
Tansportation Technology
Technology plays a major role at Swift Transportation,
from equipment monitoring/tracking to information systems to customer
service. Our goal is to drive costs down and efficiency levels up.
Satellite Communications
Our entire fleet is equipped with QualComm communication technology.
This gives us instant two-way communications with our drivers for
dispatching and directions. Working with Map2it, our drivers can
request directions from their current position to the next stop on
their route, or in the unlikely event of a breakdown, to the nearest
service facility. We monitor the engine data constantly to help our
service departments keep our fleet in top performing condition. GPS
information from our tractors allow us to track your loads 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.
E-Commerce
EDI, while being the foundation of our e-commerce suite, is only part
our vast array of communication options. We utilize EDI with our
customers for Load Tendering (204), Shipment Status(214), Freight
Billing(210) and EFT(820), to cover the entire life cycle of your
order. However, we also have load tracking available from our website
for our customers. In addition, you may also review and print your
Proof of Delivery and/or your Bill of Lading from our website. We
will soon have load tendering options available at our website. We
can work with our customers for other methods of data interchange,
FTP, e-mail, even faxing your load statuses on a daily basis.
Optimization
Partnering with Manhattan Associates, we assist our planners with making
the best driver to load decision. We also plan their route for the
most efficient route and most economical fuel stops. Through this
partnering we are better able to optimize our drivers' time and our
equipment utilization.
