Family-owned Iowa truckload carrier has confirmed more than 10,000 appointments through Qued, with email scheduling handled at a 98.8% success rate
BROADLANDS, Va., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Qued, a leader in developing sophisticated, automated appointment scheduling solutions for supply chain and logistics companies, today announced a strategic partnership with Don Hummer Trucking Corporation, a family-owned interstate truckload carrier trusted by some of the nation's most recognizable brands. Don Hummer Trucking has deployed Qued's Smart Appointments platform to automate appointment scheduling across its operations, taking manual booking work off the desks of the people who keep its trucks moving.
The numbers behind the announcement:
- More than 10,000 appointments confirmed through Qued
- 94.2% confirmation rate
- 98.8% success rate on email-based scheduling
Qued's platform selects the best appointment slots in real time, weighing ETAs, facility capacity, historical performance, and the specific requirements of each location. It connects directly to the transportation management system a carrier already runs, and it works on every channel a facility can require: web portals, email, and AI-powered voice calls. At Don Hummer Trucking, email scheduling has been the standout, with Qued handling email-based appointment requests at a 98.8% success rate.
"Don Hummer Trucking is the kind of company this industry is built on. The president holds a CDL and delivers loads. The family name rides on every trailer," said Tom Curee, President of Qued. "When a three-generation fleet with that much on the line trusts Qued with its appointments, we take it seriously. Hummer's confirmation numbers show what disciplined operators get when real automation goes to work on scheduling."
"Every load delivered safely and on time carries the opportunity to earn our customer's trust. Qued took a job that used to eat hours of our team's day and quietly handles it in the background. Confirmations happen, trucks keep moving, and our people stay focused on drivers and customers," said Jake Von Feldt, Vice President of Finance at Don Hummer Trucking.
Don Hummer Trucking joins a growing roster of asset-based carriers on Qued, from family fleets to some of the largest carriers in North America.
