Load Planner Successfully Launched to Beta

123Loadboard.com's Load Planner tool is successfully launched for beta testing. During Load Planner's Beta Testing period, users are asked to forward any errors and/or bugs they encounter. The official launch of the Load Planner is scheduled for the 25th of July, 2013.

"In our continued commitment to adding unparalleled value to your membership and simplifying life for the owner-operator, we are extremely proud to announce that our ground breaking Load Planner tool will be launched within the next few weeks.” said Loarn Metzen, VP of 123Loadboard.com™.

The Load Planner will allow you to plan/book ahead multiple loads by selecting where you are now and where you want to be in a few days. Then with the help of our state-of-the-art freight search engine, we will locate a sequence of the MOST profitable loads taking into account total mileage, driving time, deadhead mileage, fuel and toll costs.

"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 analysis." continued Loarn.

Google Maps now available in 123Loadboard.com's PC*MILER Mileage and Routing Tool

123Loadboard.com has just released an enhancement to their mileage and routing tool provided by PC*MILER. The improvement gives members the ability to also view mileage and routing results using Google Maps.

"It's sort of cliched but we are continuously striving to become a one-stop shop for owner-operators and brokers. Adding Google Maps to our already well-established PC*MILER mileage and routing tool is yet another step closer to achieving that goal. Our members can now benefit from Google's convenient way to peruse maps, find points of interest and get directions." said Loarn Metzen, VP of 123Loadboard.com™.

The advantages of using Google Maps:

Map Views
One of the biggest advantages of Google maps is the three different map views it supplies. There is a normal map view, a satellite image view and a terrain view.

Simplicity
The simplicity of Google maps is an often overlooked advantage. The mapping and routing is very cut and dry. It does what it needs to do without confusing the user with unnecessary bells and whistles.

The Zoom Feature
Google Maps allows users to easily zoom in and out using their mouse or the zoom tool on the map itself. Google Maps provides significantly faster display when panning or zooming than other mapping applications.
