123Loadboard.com Launches New Feature To Help Carriers Find More Loads

123Loadboard.com just released a new feature that will help members locate additional loads by auto-suggesting an increase to the origin and/or destination search radius.

"Over the years, we've witnessed thousands of owner-operators who missed out on available freight just slightly outside their search radius. In some instances, members who would of increased their search radius by just one mile would of produced additional load options." said Loarn Metzen, VP of 123Loadboard.com™.

"We here at 123Loadboard.com like to think of this new feature as a little bit of "Artificial Intelligence" working for our members." 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.
