Overview
Marlite's fragile, overlength freight drove high damage claims and frequent shortages, with many carriers hesitant to handle shipments due to the claim potential. Jarrett analyzed Marlite's freight characteristics through multiple on-site visits, identified packaging and loading improvements and collaborated with Marlite's team to implement stronger crating, adhesive palletization and consolidated trim handling. Network diversification doubled carrier options, and a tailored multi-stop truckload program improved control over higher-value orders. The result was a 44% reduction in damage claims, a 61% reduction in shortages and more than $120,000 in annualized savings.
