DEDICATED FLEET MANAGEMENT
At Kenco, we work to give our customers a competitive edge by securing affordable rates and allowing them to focus on their core business, instead of worrying about transportation risks and costs. We offer dedicated fleet solutions, or dedicated contract carriage (DCC), which allocates all the assets – drivers, tractors, trailers, and others resources – required for a specific transportation network or lane. Our dedicated contract carriage (DCC) solution helps cut logistics costs and improve service levels.
Benefits of Dedicated Contract Carriage
Understand & Control Your Costs – In addition to recruiting and maintaining the power units and drivers for our DCC customers, we also work to find common sense solutions that will cut transportation costs and increase efficiency.
Lower Your Risks – We carry the liability for our DCC customers, while maintaining compliance with existing and emerging regulations.
Guaranteed Capacity – We ensure that your freight is picked up and delivered when you need it. We will work with your company to develop a custom solution and dedicate specific power units and personnel that are able to scale up or scale down based on demand.

TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (TMS)
Whether you're looking to add a TMS to your company or want to make sure your current TMS is the right fit, look for a partner rather than a product. The right partner can make all the difference.
At Kenco, we don't just offer a superior TMS system; we offer the service you need to get the most out of it. With self-service approaches, many shipping managers only utilize 20-30% of the functionality of the software; with Kenco you get the full value of your TMS from the moment it's in place.
Our clients see outcomes in three main areas from partnering with Kenco and utilizing our TMS:
Access
Gain access markets and carriers; while facilitating the development of connections you already have in place and giving you a procurement advantage over other shippers.
Execution
Feel confident that shippers will be tended to the lowest-cost solution every time, whether the deciding factor is location, time, or another variable.
Visibility
If you don't know where your shipments are in real time, you can't fix potential issues or communicate data to your anxious customers. With trustworthy real-time data and a knowledgeable partner, you’ll be able to commit to continuous improvement models and avoid the "time sink" and inaccuracies of manual control models.
