What's Happening?
Pitt Ohio Transportation Group, based in Pittsburgh, has integrated Sutton Transport and Dohrn Transfer Company into a single operating entity called Dohrn. This move aims to enhance customer service by leveraging Dohrn's advanced management technology. The integration focuses on seamless customer processes, maintaining visibility, and ensuring uniform pricing and billing. Dohrn has been using FACTS freight management software from Carrier Logistics since 2002, which has helped streamline less-than-truckload (LTL) operations.
