Any Driver, Any Job
How Load Assurance Ensures Quality, No Matter What
In the fast-paced world of concrete delivery, maintaining product quality despite an ongoing staffing pinch has become a challenge for businesses of all sizes. Skilled truck drivers are the backbone of any concrete operation, but with the industry facing a persistent shortage of experienced personnel, ensuring consistent quality can be tricky.
Or at least it was before Load Assurance checked into the game. Even with novice drivers behind the wheel, businesses are now simplifying their operations while maintaining elevated quality standards.
Welcoming Drivers of Any Background
According to a report by the American Concrete Pumping Association, nearly 79% of concrete companies report difficulties in hiring and retaining qualified personnel. In response to this challenge, Load Assurance provides a user-friendly interface and real-time monitoring capabilities that guide drivers through each step of the delivery process, significantly reducing the learning curve associated with traditional methods.
Precise Monitoring for Quality Control
Quality consistency is non-negotiable, yet studies show that 3-5% of concrete batches are rejected at the jobsite due to quality issues, leading to costly delays and rework. Load Assurance addresses this issue by monitoring crucial parameters such as air, slump, temperature, and mix proportions in real-time, providing instant feedback to drivers and alerting them to any deviations from ideal conditions. This proactive approach not only prevents quality issues before they arise but also educates drivers on best practices, empowering them to make informed decisions on-site.
And although manual oversight has long been a QC staple in the concrete industry, it comes at a cost. According to a study by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, companies spend an average of $0.40 per cubic yard on QC measures, including manual testing and expert oversight. Load Assurance alleviates this burden by automating much of the monitoring and adjustment process, minimizing the need for constant supervision and reducing costs from manual oversight.
Maintaining quality is just the beginning — Load Assurance ramps up overall efficiency and productivity on the job site, too. According to research by the Construction Industry Institute, inefficient operations account for nearly 25% of project costs in the construction industry. By providing real-time data and insights, Load Assurance enables drivers to make quick adjustments as needed, reducing downtime and optimizing delivery schedules. This agility not only improves customer satisfaction but also maximizes the utilization of company resources, ultimately driving profitability.
