HOUSTON, July 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freight Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FRGT) (“Fr8Tech”), a technology company whose custom-developed, industry-leading Fr8App freight-matching platform powered by AI and machine-learning and offers a real-time portal for B2B cross-border and domestic shipping within the USMCA region, today announces the completion of its integration with Trucker Tools, one of the most utilized carrier relationship management platforms in the United States. The integration is expected to increase the offers on loads by 75% and grow the carrier network in the United States by as much as twentyfold.
Fr8App’s seamless integration with Trucker Tools marks a significant advancement in the logistics industry. This integration brings together the power of Fr8App’s innovative freight platform and Trucker Tools’ extensive network of over 315,000 carriers across the United States. With this collaboration, every load posted on Fr8App’s platform, originating from and destined to locations within the U.S., including major border ports like Laredo, becomes instantly available to the vast pool of truck drivers who rely on Trucker Tools for load bookings.
Through this integration, Fr8App streamlines the process of connecting shippers with carriers, ensuring that valuable time and resources are maximized. Truck drivers using Trucker Tools can effortlessly view and bid on available loads posted on Fr8App, creating a streamlined and efficient marketplace. Fr8App's platform automatically receives bids from truck drivers and, if the rate aligns with the target, accepts the bid instantaneously.
This integration not only enhances the accessibility and visibility of available loads for truck drivers but also significantly improves supply chain management for shippers. By leveraging the expansive Trucker Tools network, Fr8App broadens the reach of load availability, connecting shippers with a larger pool of qualified carriers. This collaborative effort simplifies the logistics process, improves efficiency and ensures that both shippers and carriers benefit from optimized operations.
Fr8App and Trucker Tools are excited about the possibilities this integration presents to the freight industry. By seamlessly connecting the two platforms, they empower shippers with a comprehensive solution for load posting and carrier selection while providing truck drivers with a wider range of opportunities to book loads conveniently. As this collaboration continues to evolve, Fr8App and Trucker Tools are committed to driving innovation, efficiency, and success in the logistics sector, delivering unprecedented value to all stakeholders involved.
