How Digital Freight Matching Is Revolutionizing Transportation

Yes, we’re calling digital freight matching revolutionary. Hyperbole? We think not. If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that adaptability is everything. Digital freight matching offers you a level of efficiency and resiliency that the old way of doing things just can’t match. Find out why this is the year for you to let digital freight matching solve your capacity challenges.

Top 10 Tools for Freight Brokers

Who doesn’t love a top 10 list? In this one, we give you a list of the tools that freight brokers and 3PLs are using to reduce their costs and boost revenue. From TMSs and load tracking software to doc upload tools and predictive load matching, this list of technology-based tools has it all. Raise your hand if you’re ready to find out what tools will help you outpace your competitors.

Choose a Single, Unified Carrier Platform Over Faster Horses

If you’re using a patchwork of technologies with your carriers, consider using a single platform that provides a better experience for carriers instead. You can reduce check calls, find capacity faster, increase margins, offer better service to shippers, attract new customers and lower your cost per load all with one carrier-friendly platform: Trucker Tools. Sound too good to be true? It isn’t.

Integration Partner Highlight: Loadsure

Trucker Tools’ partnership with Loadsure brings new load-by-load cargo insurance options to Trucker Tools’ Smart Capacity digital freight matching platform. You can now get instant quotes and instantly insure loads, one at a time. Filing a claim is easy with Loadsure and settlements are paid out quickly. Also worth noting: Loadsure’s insurance is often cheaper than traditional cargo insurance. 

Increase Carrier Stickiness, Simplify Communications with Broker Advantage

With Trucker Tools’ Broker Advantage, you can streamline your communications with carriers and boost your company’s profile within the trucking community that uses Trucker Tools driver app. Brokerage Advantage gives you the ability to have a home page for your business within the Trucker Tools driver app. On this home page, you can share links, info on loads, news, incentives and discounts with carriers. For carriers, it puts all the information they need from you in one place: the Trucker Tools driver app.  

Integration Partner Highlight: M2M In Motion ELD

Our integration with M2M In Motion ELDs is all about giving you and carriers more options. This integration gives you another option when a driver or carrier cannot use the Trucker Tools driver app for load tracking purposes. With this partnership, carriers can use their M2M In Motion ELDs for load tracking purposes with Trucker Tools’ real-time visibility platform for brokers.
