Cheetah Software Services, Inc., a software-as-a-service (SaaS) transportation logistics solutions provider, announced that Central Freight Lines has implemented the Cheetah Freight solution.
Central Freight, an LTL carrier servicing roughly the central third of the United States, is now using Cheetah Freight to increase efficiency, make more stops in fewer miles, handle more freight tonnage with fewer people and gain real-time visibility into every LTL shipment.

Central Freight Lines is a less-than-truckload (LTL) for-hire common motor carrier of general freight commodities, headquartered in Waco, Texas. Founded in 1925, the company is privately owned by Jerry Moyes, Phoenix, AZ and operates from 52 terminals nationwide.

Central Freight is focused on dramatically improving the visibility of drivers and deliveries, while increasing the timeliness and effectiveness of communications between drivers, dispatchers, customer service reps, and customers. In the future, Central Freight will use Cheetah Freight's advanced route and dispatch optimization to reduce the miles driven and fuel used in delivering more freight.

"As a result of implementing the Cheetah Freight solution, we are now able to provide more accurate driver ETA's and real-time delivery status information to our customers on demand," explained Mark Stein, Director Operations Services at Central Freight Lines. "This same information combined with real-time driver locations has helped improve the decision making ability of our dispatchers resulting in improved service and P&D productivity."
