123Loadboard.com Launches New Tool to Increase Posting Quality

Houston, TX, July 16th, 2010 -- 123Loadboard.com™ (http://www.123loadboard.com/), the freight matching service for the trucking industry, has just released a website update that includes a tool to hide loads that have already been covered.

Benefits of the New "Hide" Tool:

1. Easily removes the expired load from a user’s results;
2. Automatically notifies the 123Loadboard.com’s Quality Assurance Team (QAT) of the expired posting and allows them to remove it even before the broker or shipper sends an update;
3. Automatically highlights the load as “Already Gone” for other members who view the same load;
4. Increased Member to Member Cooperation;
5. Increased load posting quality.
   

“Other freight matching websites have the hide functionality, but it’s usually very one-sided. Our new hide tool is interactive in that it allows members to help each other. It’s all about a community effort and cooperation to keep the loadboard quality as high as possible.” said Loarn Metzen, VP of 123Loadboard.com™.

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.
