Truckstop.com has launched the transportation industry’s first charging platform exclusively for dry vans, aiming to provide an affordable advantage for owner-operators and small fleets.
The new platform starts at $35 per month for unlimited searches, giving traders access to verified loads and real-time market data.
According to Scott Moscrip, CEO of Truckstop.com, the new board was created to address the challenges of the current freight recession, where van rates have lagged behind other types of equipment.
“This Founder’s original price reflects our commitment to supporting the industry and supporting those who need it most during this challenging season,” he said in a company news release.
The Dry Van Loading Platform is available in two levels, Basic and Pro. The Basic version includes features such as access to private loads, data on load popularity and truck counts by state, broker factorability data, a route map, and access to Canadian loads.
The Pro version adds same-day and forecast rate data from SONAR insights. It also features real-time live loads, load comparison tools, a rate-per-mile heat map, multi-trip search capability, and load alert notifications sent to mobile devices.
“By integrating SONAR rate intelligence into the Truckstop Load Board, small shippers gain all the visibility advantages that larger companies have in today’s volatile freight market to outperform the competition,” said Julie Van de Kamp, director of marketing and operations at SONAR.
Truckstop.com partners with shippers, brokers and carriers to create innovative solutions throughout the entire freight lifecycle. The company celebrated its 30th anniversary in business this summer.
