SAS for trucking companies.

Drive this point home: great customer service begets success.

At one point or another, virtually everything a person owns was on a truck. From carrying a load of hazardous materials to the local factory, or delivering a person’s recent purchase from a retail store to their home, people need the services you provide. The great news is you will never lack for business (unless we master telekinesis!). The bad news is countless other trucking companies know this. That spells competition. Specialty’s answering service for trucking companies offers the solutions that will set you apart from a marketplace flooded with transport businesses.

Trucks average $30/rental + $1.00/mi. Sales add up fast. So don’t let missed calls crash business! For about $4 a day, SAS answers every call and keeps your wheels turning.

SASDelivering Outstanding Customer Support

It is a known fact that customer service is one of, if not THE most important factor a person takes into consideration when selecting which company to use. Almost 80% of polled consumers have stated that they halted an ongoing transaction because of a poor customer service experience. A customer’s opinion of your organization begins with a phone call. The first impression is also the last impression, so you need to offer flawless service from minute one. That is where Specialty Answering Service comes in. Save your current and prospective clients from the frustration of voicemail and automated phone answering. When it comes to impeccable customer care, live-voice operators make all the difference in the world.

What We Can Do.

With over 300 call center representatives based in the continental United States, our staff is capable of handling upwards of 30,000 inbound calls a day, so whatever your call volume, we can accommodate. Making customers happy is our Specialty. We train our staff twice as long as the industry standard; the extra emphasis we place on excellence can definitely be felt through the phone lines. Around-the-clock service guarantees that callers will always be greeted by a courteous and professional operator, ready to answer questions and offer assistance. In the midst of our hectic lives, we understand the importance of prompt service. That is why our staff aims to answer every call within 3 rings or less. In the answering service industry, we are the best of the best! Here are some ways we can assist you:

• Scheduling & Dispatch: Interfacing with your online calendar management software allows us to schedule commercial or residential deliveries, pick-ups, and moving services on your behalf. Our phone messaging service can dispatch your drivers via phone, text, pager, or email, and we can also make outbound reminder calls, giving customers time to confirm that someone will be there when you arrive. Any last-minute changes to your itinerary are immediately communicated to your employees. In addition, we can maintain communication with your drivers to assess their whereabouts and estimated arrival times at each stop.
• Customized Solutions: The next best thing to speaking to you directly is speaking to an SAS representative. We work hard to represent your brand and keep your image shining. Many customers have specialized needs and expectations. So we will work with you to tailor our in-call scripts, providing the individualized, personal service that your clients demand.
• Hotlines: Do you have a “how’s my driving” sticker located on your truck? Chances are you do, and chances are there’s a phone number on it. Why  not route those calls to us? Maybe your company has a fleet of specialty vehicles such as refrigerated trucks, or trucks that carry hazardous or flammable chemicals and gases. Use us as the emergency contact in the event of a malfunction or other unforeseen event.
• 24/7 Answering: We know that you receive most of your calls during regular business hours, but that is not always the case. Customers may have last minute cancellations, and if they cannot reach your business, that means the 7 a.m. delivery truck will show up, but no one will be around when it gets there. Our operators are standing by around-the-clock so you never have to worry about missing an important call. And with instant rate quotes based on the shipping guidelines you provide, callers are more likely to utilize your service rather than your competitors’.
• Bilingual Support: With operators fluent in both English and Spanish, we enable you to serve the expanding Spanish-speaking population with ease. We maintain the highest standards and we are ready to support your clients, whatever their needs may be.
