Top 4 ways to move more freight in 2015

Top 4 ways to move more freight in 2015

1/ Skip bulk posting services
Save your money and automate directly with load boards to get better results by avoiding calls on your covered loads. Bulk posting services are usually used as a last resort to move freight and will typically generate low income runs as the loads weren’t covered by their regular carriers. Automate your load posting with the larger load boards and get top dollar for every load your move. Automation is usually free with the larger load boards like www.123loadboard.com.
 

2/ Increase your load posting exposure
Showcase your load availability by adverting your available loads in real-time on your company website. Some load boards and bulk posting services offer this tool at monthly cost. www.123Loadboard.com does not charge for this tool and has helped over 640 brokers in 2014. With 123Loadboard.com you get:
 
- Increased load exposure at no charge.
- No coding or ongoing maintenance required.
- Load postings are refreshed in real-time.
 

3/ Offer your carriers alternatives
In a perfect world, owner-operators would only haul loads from you and no one else. But as you know, carriers need to continuously move loads to earn a living. So on days that you don’t have any loads for them to haul, it would be nice to offer them options. One of these options is to have them download free load board apps. This way they can find loads for free and best part, they’ll thank you for it. 123Loadboard.com’s free mobile apps for Android and iOS devices help professional truck drivers find loads to haul throughout the US and Canada.

4/ Increase your cash flow by offering quick pay
With carriers to pay and a constant stream of expenses, it’s critical for freight brokers to have a healthy cash flow. www.eCapital.com offers a great Carrier Payment service that gives brokers the funds they need to:

- Recruit and retain the best carriers.
- Reduce the risk associated with slow paying shippers.
- Pay carriers on time and offer quick pay.

Free Mobile App To Find Loads

  

123Loadboard.com Launches New Tool To Help Brokers Locate Additional Capacity

123Loadboard.com finishes the year strong with yet another great new tool to help brokers and shippers located additional truck capacity. "View Clicks" is now available for all load posting accounts and provides the broker or shipper the ability to see who viewed/clicked their load.

“We are all excited to offer a valuable tool to our load providers at no charge. It's a definite win-win for everybody as owner-operators will be getting many more calls to fill their trucks.” said Loarn Metzen, VP of 123Loadboard.com™.

The "View Clicks" feature is located within your load management page (ie. My Loads). The new column is called "View Clicks". By clicking the expand (+) icon, you will see who clicked your load(s).

Once you expand the row, you can see the company that clicked/viewed your load along with their phone number, insurance on file, authority, rating/rank and most importantly age (ie. how long ago did the member click/view your load).

Keep in mind that our system only displays the most recent companies (max. 5) that viewed your online load. Users can opt-out from being contacted. This may reduce the number of results versus view clicks.

123Loadboard.com is weeks away from launching their greatly anticipated Android App. The App will allow members and non-members to search for loads and fill their trucks. Mileage, credit and rate check data will be made available at no charge.

Final testing and improvements are being made to our Android App.
