Freight Access, Inc. announced their company appeared to be approaching its anticipated introduction of the world's first freight marketplace. The software technologies provider has been in analysis and development for more than 24 months to produce a system for virtually all stakeholders within the freight, cargo, transportation, trucking and logistics industry. Brad Hollister, the firm's co-founder and Director of Business Development said "As a transportation executive who has a broad range of industry experience, we have identified the elements on the industry which cause problems for the stakeholders. We have focused on developing a suite of low cost solutions to help fellow transportation professionals have access to real time data to make informed and sound business decisions."

Freight Access, Inc. (http://www.freightaccess.com) has focused on identifying the issues of the freight market from virtually all points of view as well as integrated solutions to them into the brand new and highly anticipated system for merely $11 per month. Freight Access, Inc. boasts it has the determination of unquestionably helping the lives of transportation professionals by helping to make daily functions more effective, allowing dispatchers and traffic managers to make much better use of company resources and choose only valuable business partners and minimizing risk while seeking fresh partners.

Hollister stated "There are a lot of mis-conceptions in the industry pertaining to reducing transportation costs. Most former freight and carrier executives elect to take a position as a third party logistics provider or supply chain consultant, who are ready to teach shippers and manufacturers how to reduce transportation costs. The problem is these freight professionals themselves do not understand the forces the market plays on the freight industry, as they have come from a single carrier who focused on getting freight and adjusting pricing up and down to attract new shippers. These former LTL (less than truckload) and truckload vice presidents typically come and offer to take a freight profile, a company benchmark, and then send out a request for pricing with all carriers to get a 'bid' from all of them. The largest pricing requests I have seen include 150 or more carriers and take months to analyze. A seriously antiquated approach, which provides seriously limited results. The approach at www.freightaccess.com is different. Let's do this for every shipment. Let's get a new Request for Pricing for every single shipment sent out. This way carriers and owner operators win by filling empty trucks and shippers are able to benefit by filling empty capacity in real time."

Freight Access, Inc. has identified a pattern in the freight industry among carriers during the previous market cycle. Numerous Owner Operators have recognized that finding freight that makes sense to transport is actually quite difficult, so often times these types of independent truck drivers turn out working for one or numerous third party logistics firms or even larger carriers. These ltl carriers or truckload carriers have a primary interest in lowering the actual amount of money the truck drivers are getting paid therefore their profits increase and sometimes owner operators realize the actual amount they are actually being paid out for a load is hardly able to cover costs of operation. Additionally, numerous third party logistics firms have popped up which aren't paying drivers inside satisfactory terms, if at all in some instances.

The freight industry continues to be craving the low cost tools provided by Freight Access.com for a while. Steve Obregon, Owner Operator from Obregon Trucking in Wisconsin is a strong supporter of Freight Access's platform. "I've looked at what they're doing and can't wait to get going on it. I am sick of sitting for days for one of my brokers to call me with a load. I constantly call them to say you got one yet, you got one yet? It will so nice to find a load before I even get to the place and also to look about if I'm making or losing money on it."

Freight Access, Inc.'s freight marketplace platform is presently completing beta tests. If you're interested in becoming a beta tester, contact Freight Access, Inc. by calling 312-450-3020 or by emailing a request (with "BETA TESTER REQUEST" in the subject line of your email) to marketing@freightaccess.com.
