Introducing buytruckload.com - Changing the Way Transportation Purchasing is Done

Feb. 26, 2013 - PRLog -- buytruckload.com is based in Chicago and was founded by Sean Devine and John Labrie, transportation executives working hands-on to reshape the market. Before founding buytruckload.com, John was President of CRST Expedite, President of Con-way Freight, EVP of Strategy and Enterprise Operations at Con-way, and President of Con-way Freight Western. Sean was Vice President of Strategy and Transportation Purchasing at Echo Global Logistics, Vice President of Pricing and Engineering at Con-way Freight, Vice President of Enterprise Engineering at Con-way, Vice President of Consulting at Emptoris (now IBM) and Vice President of Products and Services at CombinetNet.

buytruckload.com combines their experience with freight operations, procurement strategy, and analytics to help shippers save money. We have started by offering a search to help shippers find prospective carriers and a survey to improve internal processes. The combination of the two creates the opportunity for shippers to save money by making improvements inside and outside of their organization, and more services that will help shippers reduce costs are on the way.

The buytruckload.com carrier search leverages a database of every carrier and broker in the United States and supports searches by equipment, size, location, age, safety, authority and more. The survey captures the consulting work the team has done and provides each user with a framework within which to review their as-is state. buytruckload.com also has a series of transportation cartoons drawn for them by “Abe” Eagle, an owner-operator and cartoonist.

All features of the site - the carrier search, assessment survey, and professional cartoons – are accessible after a quick registration. They’ve found a way to replace ‘business as usual’ by making all of their resources, including the registration, completely free. More information is available directly from the site in a scenic-drive tour that provides an overview of buytruckload.com’s resources and the kind of experience they offer their visitors:
