The product uses a proprietary, cloud-based platform that is designed to streamline communications between 10 million shippers, brokers and carriers.

The new, mobile-friendly software allows shippers to identify and self-broker qualified, accredited trucks and gives carriers the ability to secure backhaul freight up to eight days in advance.

Here’s how it works: Shippers, brokers and carriers pay a $70 annual subscription fee for access to the software using their computer or mobile device.
