Virtual Freight Management – Driving the Evolution of Trucking Logistics

American truckers are responsible for transporting ¾ of all freight that moves from coast to coast and border to border.

Logistics solutions already exist right? For such a large and critical segment of the U.S. economy, it would be easy to assume a centralized, digitized system is in place allowing for easy tracking and management of cargo as it moves across the country.
Wrong. A huge market opportunity exists as no tool currently on the market allows shippers and receivers to actively track and manage cargo in real time. With 2 million truck loads shipped every day that largely still rely on archaic technologies such as fax machines, phone calls, and paper processes to initiate, manage and track shipments, a huge opportunity exists to bring this industry into the 21st century.
The current movement of cargo is extremely inefficient. 90% of freight movements in the U.S. are handled by smaller independent trucking companies with 6 or fewer trucks. Most of these small Carriers lack the technology to provide Shippers and Brokers true real-time visibility into their shipment status. Many of these small trucking companies also continue to rely on outdated and time-consuming faxing, phone calls, and emails to transact business, slowing the payment window for all parties involved.
