Shipping Loads with Multiple Stops - Made Painless!

Shipping freight with multiple stops could be much more time consuming and painful, than shipping a load with no stops in-between the origin and destination point. When you do so, with each phone call you make to the trucking companies your conversations get longer and your patience gets shorter. You get tired of repeating yourself and describing your load in details, specifying the much needed variables about your shipment, such as: number of skids, size, dimensions, weight, type of product, number of pick-ups, number of deliveries, location of each stop time of arrival, etc.... But, however difficult it might seem, the trucking companies do need you to be very specific in your description in order to give you a comprehensive rate and avoid any post-service arguments or billing surprises. They are in business for the same reasons as you: to make money but at the same time to provide quality service and gain more satisfied customers.

Now, if you have not explored other venues, such as posting your load on an online load-board, I would suggest you to do so and see if it is going to work for you. But remember, this time you will be the one who will be excessively chased on the phone by freight carriers, so try not plan to spend too much time to do anything else but repeating the same shipment specifications again and again. Basically the way it is, the technology today has not improved this part of your work any easier than it used to be.

What if I told you that if you use the right piece of software, where you would completely describe all aspects of your shipment in details just once, including complete information about each stop and receive many online rates from multiple carriers, without ever calling you over the phone? Well, many shipping companies and freight brokers vow by it, but would it work for you – only you can tell? The best part is, it is free to post your loads!

An Online Load-Board – The Ultimate Solution for Freight Brokers and Carriers

In today’s fast paced Freight Industry and its ever-changing environment, the challenge almost every freight broker faces is to balance the time between quickly covering the available freight with the right carriers and following leads which will bring new business to the company. Well, it really is a “Catch 22”. In the past few years many online load-boards have been somewhat helpful to freight brokers on one side and freight carriers on the other, in replacing a portion of their “freight and truck chase battle” over the phone. However, utilizing these load-boards also opens the door to hundreds of available truckers enabling them to call brokers back with inquiries about more details regarding the posted freight. This phenomenon creates excessive volumes of inbound phone calls, putting the broker in the unfortunate position of having to spend more time on the phone with truck drivers than calling new prospects and getting new freight-lanes.

Now, this begs the question: How can a broker avoid spending so much time on the phone with truckers (without alienating these hard-working guys on the road) and at the same time, focus on the rest of his/her agenda for the day?
Well, a group of freight transportation experts challenged this very problem almost five years ago and set out on a journey to bring us the ultimate answer to this question. After 4 long years of research and development, they developed a unique turnkey online application specialized for the Freight Brokerage Industry, called Cargo Success. They managed to include everything that was already automated and offered by other load-boards on the market, but more importantly integrated virtually all human factors and methods of manual work involved in the everyday “Freight posting” and “Truck booking” process.
Let’s see what this on-line application brings to the table and what the concerned parties can now achieve with it, that they previously couldn’t:


Broker
- Can schedule and post available freight and receive online rates/quotes in an “Auto-Pilot” mode (avoiding the excessive volume of inbound calls, while concentrating on other tasks)
- Can get back to the postings at a later time, quickly review submitted quotes and decide who to give the available loads to, with a few clicks of a mouse
- Can send order information to the selected carrier(s) of choice (again, with a single click of a mouse)
- Can leave feedback and comments about the carrier


Carrier
- Can find available freight described in detail
- Can submit online quotes to multiple listings (along with attached authorities, whenever required) and retract previously submitted quotes (if a better offer is found elsewhere)
- Once awarded with a load, can receive order information to execute the load
- Can leave feedback and comments about the broker

Has this unique application truly conquered the problem and provided a solution to improving the Broker’s Time and Resource Management, as it claims? Well, it is up to you to decide.
