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.

ScoopMonkey rating and review system on 123Loadboard.com

123Loadboard has partnered with ScoopMonkey, a leading online reputation management source for the transportation industry. The partnership integrates ScoopMonkey’s review and rating system with 123Loadboard.com, giving carriers, brokers, and shippers easy access to feedback ratings similar to eBay’s feedback system.

As a member of 123Loadboard you can now easily review companies. This is very good news for the good guys, and not so good for the not so good guys. Prior to doing business with a company you are unfamiliar with, check them out on ScoopMonkey. While you’re at it, keep an eye out on your own reputation.

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.

 
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.com released a new feature at no additional cost that will help members use our freight matching services more efficiently by adding the ability to save companies as your favorites in order to only see results that you want to work with.

"We're always looking for ways to help our members save time searching for loads and trucks. The "favorites" tool allows members to easily view the leads they want to see rather than having to weed through thousands of results." said Loarn Metzen, VP of 123Loadboard.com™.

123Loadboard.com Links Credit Ratings and Mileage in Search Results

123Loadboard.com has just released an enhancement to their freight search results whereby the mileage, credit ratings and days-to-pay values are all linked to their respective reports.

"We are always looking into ways that we can easily showcase all the free freight matching tools that we offer our members. Having direct access to PC*Miler routing and full company credit reports from the search result rows is yet another way we are helping our members save time and money." said Loarn Metzen, VP of 123Loadboard.com™.

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.

Routing Alert - PC*MILER Application Updated on 123Loadboard.com

The routing restriction that was applied to Interstate 40 in western North Carolina has been lifted. This segment of roadway was originally closed in November 2009 due to a rockslide that buried the interstate. On 11/05/2009 PC*MILER Web Services users were alerted of the truck restriction that was applied to this road segment to close it and not be considered when generating mileage summaries, routes and reports.

Today, PC*MILER released an update to their Web Services by reopening this section of roadway in the routing database. All users using the PC*Miler routing tool will automatically be updated with this change.
