Business Automation for FedEx Contractors: Safety, Compliancy, Productivity

07/09/2026

For Western Freight, it was taking up to 7 months for new drivers to get fully up to speed, creating operational strain and limiting growth.

After implementing Descartes GroundCloud™, they saw measurable change:
- Training time cut to less than 1 month
- Faster onboarding with shared route knowledge and stop insights
- Built-in safety and coaching supporting driver development every day

“I’ve seen drivers go from zero to 120–140 stops a day in 10 days.”

The result is a stronger, more capable team and a more scalable operation.

🚚 Scaling a last mile operation is rarely as simple as it looks.

Western Freight entered the ISP space expecting a turnkey operation, but quickly ran into a common challenge: training drivers fast enough to keep up with growth.

With Descartes GroundCloud™, they accelerated onboarding and performance:

- Reduced driver training time from 6–7 months to under 1 month
- Increased success rates from 1 in 6–8 hires to 1 in 3
- Enabled some drivers to reach 120–140 stops per day in just 10 days

By combining routing, safety, and training into one platform, Western Freight created a more consistent, scalable operation that supports both performance and retention.

🚚 Hitting 95%+ on-time delivery while managing 200+ routes is no small feat.

When time-definite deliveries were introduced, Big Green Contracting had to adapt quickly without sacrificing efficiency.

With the Time Commits feature in Descartes GroundCloud™, they:
✅ Achieved 95%+ on-time delivery
✅ Improved routing efficiency
✅ Reduced planning complexity

“Descartes GroundCloud would be the best option at running anything efficiently. I would say it shaves half the time off that we would need to get to those time commitments.”
