Carriers – how can they benefit by using Goodloading?

Labor efficiency translates into higher profits and helps build a competitive edge, which is especially needed in these times. Carriers that can manage their fleets by optimizing cargo space not only generate additional revenue, but also gain in the eyes of their customers.

Below are two cases that show how carriers are using Goodloading to streamline their operations and increase profits.

Case 1: Optimizing the load on the trailer

A carrier gets a message that a new transport order has appeared in its TMS. The order involves the transportation of multiple different-sized pallets. Thanks to telematics, the carrier can check the statuses of its vehicles in real time. The next step is to check with Goodloading that all the goods will fit on the trailer that best suits the order.

Step 1: Vehicle verification
Goodloading allows you to quickly and accurately verify that the selected trailer will accommodate all the pallets. If the selected vehicle is not suitable, the tool allows you to easily check other available trailers that may better meet the requirements of the order.

Step 2: Decision to accept the offer
Once the right vehicle is matched to the load, the carrier can accurately determine the freight price based on the data collected. With Goodloading’s ability to optimize loading, the carrier is confident that it has chosen the most efficient transportation option.

Case 2: Efficient use of cargo space

The carrier carries out standing orders for the manufacturer, but the ordered vehicles are often not fully filled. In order to maximize the use of available space, the carrier uses the freight exchange to look for reloads.

Step 1: Determine the status of the vehicles
Thanks to telematics systems, a carrier can monitor the status of its vehicles in real time. Based on this, it pre-selects the vehicle that can best perform for an additional order.

Step 2: Verify cargo space
Using Goodloading, the carrier makes sure that there will be free LDMs left after the first load to take the additional cargo. The tool allows you to accurately calculate the available space and verify that the load will fit on the selected vehicle.

Step 3: Determine the rate for the order
Based on the data from Goodloading, the carrier can accurately determine whether it can accept an additional order. If so, it is able to propose an appropriate rate, taking into account the optimal use of cargo space. In this way, the carrier minimizes losses due to unused space, while increasing its revenue.
