“We don't have to wait to get quotes back for our larger shipments, which are always our large customers. A lot of them order anywhere from four to six full truckloads a month. To have to wait two or three days for an actual quote, and then go through a negotiation process, can take a week before we can actually ship something. Whereas with a digital freight marketplace, I can just get the rate, book it, and everything is set up. I don't have to worry about it, and everything is mapped along the way. I know exactly what I'm getting.”
"With a digital freight marketplace, we get competitive costs that are not only within reason, but that also cover the load based on what the carriers are committing to. One of the challenges we sometimes run into is that a carrier will say ‘Yes, I can do this load for $1,000.’ Then it comes back six weeks later and wants $1,400. Sometimes it’s legit because the market changes, but there seems to be a lot more of this happening, at least from our perspective. By using a digital freight marketplace, we can work around this issue and gain confidence not only because we’re leveraging the technology, but also because we’re getting the same service that we would normally get from an asset provider or 3PL."
