Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores’ private truck fleet, Gemini Motor Transport, has implemented Gravitate’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Supply & Dispatch solution. Gemini delivers millions of gallons of fuel to Love’s stores and other locations annually, and it expects the solution to help the company manage supply, optimize fuel supply decisions, dispatch its 1,300 trucks and provide new freight and quoting functionality.
“Love’s transportation business has grown and evolved over the last 20 years, and we are excited to utilize the power of Gravitate Supply & Dispatch to help us further enhance our strategic approach to order generation, dispatch automation, supply optimization and driver support across the nation,” Love’s Executive Vice President of Transportation Brent Bergevin said.
The Gravitate Supply & Dispatch solution enhances dispatch productivity and truck utilization, the company said. Through automated order creation and route optimization, it gives Love’s the power to increase dispatchers’ productivity, the company added. And, by leveraging supply optimization technology, Love’s can drive more intelligent fuel supply decisions and minimize laid-in costs of fuel across its network, it said.
