Streamlined Management of Freight Transportation
When a shipper posts a load, all relevant load information is provided in real-time through the load board interface. The load will be visible to other internal users of the load board, as well as seen by the private or public carrier community that the shipper is looking for a response from.
Load details include:
- Origin
- Destination
- Ship date
- Delivery date
- Commodity
- Rate
- Pallet requirements
- Shipper company name
- Consignee
- Comments
- Any contact information provided
When a carrier has available equipment to run the lane within the timeframe, he submits an offer through the load board to show interest in securing the load. Carriers provide their rates, as well as any comments regarding this load transaction.
Shippers receive multiple responses from all available carriers interested in the load, and can view all responses on a single page for easy comparison and prioritization of preferred carriers. Using the same system where the load was posted, the shipper now accepts an offer from one of the carriers, which automatically updates the status of the load to ‘Closed’ so no other carriers waste their time submitting offers. The selected carrier will be notified via email, and will also be able to see that the load was awarded to them from a page within their Real Time Freight application that shows all of their outstanding offers.
Handling all of the carrier procurement process within a centralized system allows for instant and automatic communication of the load details to all involved participants, and also enables powerful reporting functionality for better decisions going forward. RTF Load Boards are much more than just online bulletin boards - they are the interface of a network that adds significant return on your investment.
