123Loadboard.com™ (http://www.123loadboard.com), the freight matching service for the trucking industry, is celebrating National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW) from September 16-22, 2012.

It’s definitely no secret that truck driving is one of North America's most essential and demanding jobs. Millions of dedicated men and women travel roads every day sacrificing many of life's pleasures to deliver the freight that keeps America moving. They miss birthdays, anniversaries, family dinners, school plays and many other special moments that most of us take for granted.

“National Truck Driver Appreciation Week allows us to recognize and appreciate the sacrifices that professional truck drivers make every day out on the road. 123Loadboard.com is celebrating this occasion by giving away over $75,000 of load board memberships, $25,000 more than last year." said Loarn Metzen, VP of 123Loadboard.com™.

Our factoring partner Freight Capital is hosting gift-giving booths at two truck stops in Southern California and one in Memphis, Arkansas during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week and will be handing out a total of 150 one-year 123Loadboard.com memberships each valued at over $500.

123Loadboard Launches New Tool To Help Reduce Deadhead Miles

123Loadboard.com™ (www.123loadboard.com), a leading freight matching service for the trucking industry, has launched a new tool to help professional truck drivers reduce their deadhead miles by allowing members to search for loads and automatically post their truck with a single click of a mouse.

Trucking companies and owner-operators understand the importance of keeping their equipment filled with truck freight for every mile covered. Too much deadheading (ie. empty miles) can literally drive a trucking company out of business very quickly. The ability to find a load on a freight that will get them back home -or- into a better freight lane, also known as a backhaul, is a major challenge for many.

"123Loadboard.com continuously strives to give members an extraordinary load board experience. By using the latest technologies, we've recently developed new innovative tools to help professional truck drivers save time and reduce deadheading." said Loarn Metzen, VP and COO of 123Loadboard.com™.

"The "Search and Post My Truck" tool gives professional truck drivers the added benefit of added fuel cost savings, drastically reducing deadhead miles and greatly minimizing layovers." continued Loarn.

123Loadboard Launches Additional Source For Credit Information Provided by Ansonia Credit Data

123Loadboard now offers Ansonia Credit Data as a new additional source for credit information to help small and large transportation companies significantly shorten the time between service delivery and payment.
 

In a time of economic uncertainty when competition is high and profits are low, transportation companies need a low-cost, industry-specific credit source they can count on to help determine prospects’ and customers’ ability to pay. That is why eighty percent of the largest less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers and fully half of the largest truckload (TL) carriers in the U.S. and Canada use Ansonia Credit Reports. Ansonia allows companies to make faster, smarter credit decisions so they can spend time building their business, not dealing with collection agencies.

"Changes that occur in the credit standing of your business partners can make or break your company in the blink of an eye." said Orazio Mauro, Logistics Specialist & Analyst of 123Loadboard.com™.

"123Loadboard.com is focused on protecting your business and now provides an additional source for credit information to make better business decisions. Our members now receive unlimited access to Ansonia Credit Data, one of the most knowledgeable credit reporting agencies, on all load providers. The additional credit source is updated on a daily basis and includes days-to-pay, credit risk score and number of companies reporting." said Greg Adourian, President of 123Loadboard.com™.
