THE PROJECT

Every load. A better outcome.

The Fredericksburg Express (FredEx) project is a 10-mile section of express lanes in Fredericksburg, Virginia, running from Route 17 to Route 10 (Garrisonville Road). The project involved a wide range of heavy civil scopes including bridge work, earthwork, roadway construction, and drainage.

As the project scaled from roughly 30–40 trucks up to 175, Iron Sheepdog became essential to managing operations efficiently. The Branch team credits the platform's real-time load count analysis and tracking tools with keeping the massive earthmoving effort on track, noting it would have been a significant challenge to manage without it.

Beyond the technology, the value of the relationships Iron Sheepdog fostered between Branch Civil, the dumpsites, and the trucking broker, Andre Tyree Trucking allowed the team to handle conflicts collaboratively, make creative scheduling decisions around site conditions, and stay coordinated throughout the project's mass earth haul phase.
