Attention Shippers and Freight Brokers – Straight to the Point

Freight Broker’s membership with Cargo Success is completely free. No hidden fees, limitations or restrictions of any kind.

When you read this article, you will realize that this specialized Freight Brokerage application is what every Freight Broker has been longing for. It has been built and designed with one thing in mind, to “put the Broker in the driver’s sit”.

Don’t chase available trucks any more, just post your loads on our load-board and let the trucks come to you.

“Online” Quotes (the new way)

Receiving online quotes – saves you lots of time:

1. Describe your load in detail and post it; Come back to it at later time (you can end it early at any time)
2. Review the online received quotes and assign it to a “Carrier of Choice”
3. That’s it – You’ve covered your load(s) without a single phone call!

Remember, you can post your loads Privately or you can post it Publicly.

To post Private loads for your preferred carriers, they first need to register with us so you can add them into your list of Approved Carriers list.

Carriers love to see loads described in detail. They right away know if they can do the load or not. They are extremely happy not to waste time calling you if they do not have available trucks or truck without adequate equipment for your load.

“Over the Phone” Quotes (the traditional way)

If you prefer to be called on the phone, you can certainly choose that option too (during your load-posting process). In this case, your phone number will be shown on the load-description page and the carriers will not have the option to submit online quotes, only to call you on the phone.

Even then, due to your detailed load-listing description, you dramatically cut the conversation time in half. The carriers won’t ask you many questions over the phone; they will just call you to verbally give you their quotes.

Auto Capture

Our system saves all your postings, online received quotes and attached authorities automatically, so you can access them at a later time.

Is it really this simple? Try it and see for yourselves.

Thank You for a Successful Kickoff of our Charity Campaign

As you already know our innovative and yet practical online load-board has been the core factor for our Company’s success and rapid growth. We feel that it is our obligation to share our success with the ones in need, through various Charity Programs.

Last week, we launched our “You, Them and Us” charity campaign, at which time we dropped the pricing of our membership packages for 50% (until the end of 2010), hoping that “a portion” of the other 50% are going to be donated to our Affiliated Charity Programs.

Thus far, our affiliated Charities have reported (with some early statistics) that they have received high number of hits on their websites coming from the Cargo Success’ website as well as accounted numerous telephone and email inquiries about their current programs, and number of them have successfully materialized into program subscriptions.

I would like to take this opportunity and thank all members of our Freight Community, for the successful kickoff of this Charity Campaign. We are confident that our Community’s contribution, toward the ones in need will continue to grow and display the conscious mind of today’s business man and woman or our society.

Thank You!

Dan Kockovski
President and CEO – Cargo Auctions Ltd.

Honored to be the Shippers’ & Carriers’ Most Preferred Load-Board

Our Freight Community’s online application nomination, for the Mississauga Board of Trade (MBOT) 2009 Business Awards of Excellence in the field of Technology & Innovation, was only an indication of what was yet to come.

Being nominated was great, but being chosen as the Shippers’ & Carriers’ Most Preferred Online Load-Board, is even greater. It is a clear reaffirmation of our vision to create a practical application which simplifies Shippers’ and Carriers’ daily communication method in the process of booking trucks and finding freight.

The positive feedback from our current users (Shippers & Brokers and Carriers) has been even a bigger motivational factor for us to continue to work closely with each one of our members, continuously adapting our application to their daily segments of the shipping freight.

We have lately seen a massive migration from other shipping and freight brokering applications to our specialized online load-board. This is another reason for us why we are committed to continue to live up to the expectations of our community members and continue improving our application with more features and options based on the their feedback.

More Available Freight Makes Everyone Happier

PR Log (Press Release)Mar 04, 2010 – The most recent statistics show that USA and Canada have officially emerged from recession and their economy has expanded at an annual rate of 3.5 per cent in the Q3. Freight shipping volume is on the rise and everyone involved in the manufacturing and freight shipping industry is glad to see more trucks on the road.
Government stimulus spending and improved consumer spending as well as an improvement in housing prices finally pushed GDP into positive territory for the first time in four quarters. Growth has definitely exceeded all economists' estimates.
