Freightquote has strategically bolstered its Truckload capabilities to become an even more comprehensive transportation solution for its customers. Fluctuating truckload capacities further exacerbated by the declining economic climate have created a perfect storm for small businesses trying to locate dependable, cost efficient carriers. Freightquote has responded by implementing a series of enhancements to its technology, operations, and customer-service so customers receive Truckload shipping quotes that are even more cost-effective, timely, and accurate.

Freightquote’s state-of-the-art technology ensures customers get the most competitive Truckload pricing the industry has to offer. Historically, Truckload pricing has been based on out-dated market data and/or anecdotal information. Freightquote has taken the lead by developing factual, market driven technology that provides customers with the best pricing available.

In addition to ground-breaking technology, Freightquote’s dedicated team of truckload specialists aligned with account representatives provide customers’ unmatched personal service. These integrated teams work together to determine truckload coverage and capacity, verify shipment details, and inform the customer of their shipment’s delivery status. Truckload shipments have more than doubled in recent months as a result of Freightquote’s technological and operational enhancements even while the industry sector is down by double-digits. The positive feedback from customers has been overwhelming.

Leading-edge technology, personalized communication, and professional truckload specialists strategically position Freightquote as the industry’s leading provider of web-based freight transportation management services. In the current economy where layoff news happens daily, Freightquote is adding truckload experts to support its continued growth.

Freightquote’s Less Than Truckload service has been at the core of the company’s success, however, the ongoing enhancement of its Truckload services further strengthens Freightquote’s position in the market and its commitment to meet all of its customers’ shipping needs. Trent Flanary, Vice President of Sales, says “Truckload continues to be a huge value-add to our customers. We deliver on our promise by providing a fair rate, confidently meeting our obligations, and proactively communicating from start to finish.”

“At Freightquote, our mission is to meet our customers’ needs. Telling them about our services only opens the door,” says Flanary, “once customers experience how simple, fast, and cost effective it is to utilize us as their ‘one stop shop’ for Truckload and Less Than Truckload shipping, it allows us to come inside and deliver.”
