Improvement of Freight Load-Boards

Feb. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- What freight brokers go through to book trucks for their loads is often seen as inevitable part of their work routine. Spending countless hours on the phone trying to find available trucks to cover their freight, then utilize online load-boards for the loads that have not yet been covered and again spend more hours answering phone calls from numerous freight carriers inquiring more information about the posted loads is just exhausting.

Due to the lack of important features and options of the software applications brokers use, (including online load-boards), freight brokers have had no choice but to accept these work routines and try to manage to carry out their workload on daily basis. most of the online load-boards do not offer appropriate fields to fully describe loads and elaborate on necessary load information, in order to filter large percentage of calls from carriers with inappropriate load requirements. Subsequently, truckers feel compelled to call brokers over the phone in order to find out more details about their loads of interest, such as: details of any additional stops, required logistic specifications, late and delay fees, special requirements, minimum cargo insurance, payment terms, etc.

Since the first Load-boards have been introduced (over ten years ago), these methods have been a common way to do business in the modern Freight Industry.  Accepted by both brokers and carriers as a way of completing their allocated daily tasks while handling growing volume of loads, these time-consuming methods have been seen as a problem calling for a change. The change has come in form of the Load-board that offers freight brokers and carriers a convenient place where they match freight accordingly, without placing phone calls from and to each other.
