The Challenge
Tommy had been dispatching himself and spending 3-4 hours every night planning routes, calling brokers, and managing paperwork. The mental exhaustion was affecting his driving performance, and he'd had two near-miss incidents he attributed to fatigue from the combined workload. His wife was urging him to quit trucking entirely.
Grow Trucking Solution
Grow Trucking took over all dispatch, broker communication, and paperwork for Tommy. We matched him with a consistent freight lane hauling lumber products from Oregon mills to Midwest distribution centers — a lane with predictable timing that let Tommy reclaim his evenings. Our team manages all check calls, detention disputes, and invoice follow-ups.
Route Optimization
I-84 East to I-15 North to I-90 East. Identified a seasonal routing adjustment in winter that avoids the Lookout Pass closure risk, rerouting via I-84/US-93 with only a 31-mile addition but eliminating a historically costly weather delay.
