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.

123Loadboard.com™, a leading internet load board for the transportation industry, has launched their newest load planning technology to help professional truck drivers save time and maximize their profits by effectively planning ahead by taking into consideration driving time, deadhead mileage, fuel and toll costs. Load Planner reduces the time required to locate a sequence of the highest potential paying loads to plan a trip without having to perform countless load searches.
 
“We’re excited to be at the forefront of technology by offering another valuable instrument to our valued members. In keeping with our commitment to simplifying life for the owner operator, our Load Planner tool gives professional truck drivers the ability to plan ahead multiple loads over a selected period of time, given an origin and an optional final destination.

Load Planner 1.0
Trip Revenue/profitability Analysis
 

“The Load Planner automatically sorts trip based on profitability. This ensures that you will always work with the most profitable loads. Should you remove a load from a trip, our system will automatically search for the next highest paying load to complete your trip. The end result is exactly what professional truck drivers are looking for – increased profitability and more time spent with their families.” continued Loarn.
 
“Now with Load Planner doing the leg work, truckers will have more time to find the ideal loads, routes and best rates to maximize their profits. Unlike some competitor tools that limit the amount of loads per trip and don’t calculate profitability, our Load Planner returns multiple trips each consisting of one or more loads with revenue/profitability and trip analysis. The ability to capitalize profits at the touch of a button will translate into less research and more time to determine how you plan on spending that extra profit!” said AJ Sansoye, Director of Operations at 123Loadboard.com™.
