Common truck booking platform at LA/LB may help stop cargo leakage
Truckers want the port authorities of Los Angeles and Long Beach to pave the way ...
It seems as if half the world wants to be an Uber of some sort; this time it’s a company in Los Angeles offering an online freight platform that matches shippers directly with hauliers, cutting out freight brokers. The service is offered free to carriers – effectively a sales and marketing platform for owner-operators and their ilk – while setting rates for shippers, which carriers can either accept or reject. There are other companies with similar business models, and it’s too early to say whether any of them will be successful.
