Case Study:

Rowlee Farms Trucking – Northeast Region

Company Overview: Rowlee Farms Trucking is a Vermont-based hauling company owned and operated by Dylan Rowlee. With a reputation for reliability, professionalism, and long-haul capacity, Rowlee supports timber operations across the Northeast — from Maine to New York. They specialize in wood hauling under challenging conditions: winter roads, changing job specs, and tight delivery windows.

The Situation Before Waldo:

Dylan and his team were doing what most truckers in the industry still do: managing trip tickets on paper, communicating job changes over the phone, and relying on handwritten notes to match delivery records with mill scale slips. These old methods created real problems:

• Tickets went missing or were delayed in getting to the office
• Paper got wet, torn, or smudged
• Changes in destinations weren’t always communicated clearly
• Subcontractors didn’t get paid on time due to incomplete data
• There was no easy way to prove a load was dropped off — or when

It was costing time, money, and trust.

‍

How Waldo Helped: Rowlee Farms joined the Hanford Project alongside major landowners like Lyme Timber. Waldo provided an offline-first mobile platform built for real-world field conditions. Loads could be completed directly from a driver’s phone, with job info, destinations, and product specs pre-filled based on the contract.The Waldo team worked with Rowlee to make sure:

• Trip tickets could be started and submitted without cell service
• Haul contracts were automatically tied to the load
• Landowners could see delivery confirmation in real time
• Mill scale slips could be uploaded as photos
• Completed loads created a full audit trail for billing

Results:

• Paper eliminated entirely from daily trucking operations
• Destination changes and mill specs updated in real time
• Subcontractors paid faster and more accurately
• Reduced confusion, disputes, and back-and-forth with landowners
• Office staff no longer had to chase down missing tickets

Quote from the Field:

“Waldo made it simple. No one’s guessing where the wood’s going or waiting to get paid. Our haulers just fill out the load and drive.”

What This Means for Other Truckers: If you’ve ever had to call three people just to confirm a delivery, or had your check delayed because of a smudged paper ticket, Waldo is built for you. It’s not about fancy tech — it’s about getting the job done right, with less hassle, and more trust.Final Thought: Rowlee Farms Trucking proved that modern tools can still be tough enough for the woods. Waldo gave them a faster, clearer, more accurate way to haul. And it just works — even when the signal doesn’t.
