Arnold Transport utilizes paperwork scanning to aid drivers & boost cash flow

February 15, 2010 - WMG Interactive

Arnold Transportation Services (ATS) has announced its move to implement truck stop and terminal scanning, enhancing driver convenience and control as well as shortening the company’s billing cycle.

“Scanning is totally new to ATS and was largely implemented based on input from our drivers,” says Chris Hackler, Arnold Transportation Services Vice President of Safety and Recruiting, “One of the reasons we put scanning equipment at our locations was so drivers can easily get their paperwork in for payment. Our research told us that over 60 percent of our paperwork was being turned in at ATS terminals so it made sense to equip the terminals with scanners.”

In addition, drivers can go to the nearest truck stop and scan all the paperwork for that delivery. This includes the signed BOL, unloading receipts, detention forms, OS&D documents, along with any completed Hours of Service documents.

“Utilizing paperwork scanning provides full control to our drivers,” says Hackler. “They simply scan their paperwork, keep the receipt as proof of completion and they are assured of payment for their work within a specific pay cycle. Plus, the sooner we have a signed proof of delivery in our possession, the more quickly an invoice can be sent to the customer.”

According to Hackler, Arnold has received very positive feedback as a result of the implementation. “Our drivers requested this program and are happy that we responded and made it available to them,” he says.

Arnold offers company drivers high pay, great runs, excellent home time, life and disability insurance, health and dental insurance, vision plan, and 401(k) retirement among other benefits.

Independent contractors enjoy high earnings, no forced dispatch and steady freight. Plus, they receive industry low trade insurance rates, paid plates and permits, excellent fuel surcharge program, 24/7 road breakdown assistance, weekly settlements, and free fuel tax return filing.

Arnold has openings now for both company drivers and owner operators. Anyone interested in learning more about driving careers at Arnold are encouraged to call today. 866-224-4527 or visit www.arnoldtrans.com to apply today.
