“LoadProof helped with our claims – as long as they’re doing their part on the dock and taking their pictures then we have to go back and it dropped a lot of claims. Before we had LoadProof we wouldn’t have a way to look at this. It saves us a lot of money and it’s helping us a lot.” – Craiglyn Mullins – Logistics Coordinator – Mannington Mills

Craiglyn Mullins –
You know savings is it in the freight claims because that’s where, we send the material out the door shipments, that’s where we’re getting the pictures and then when we have the customers come back or freight carriers come back and say oh well this wasn’t on there then when you we’ve been able to go back to LoadProof and say oh yeah here’s the picture here it is and that saved us a lot.
