Convoy, J.B. Hunt, and Uber Freight have joined forces to address what they say is a lack of API standards across freight shipments, believing it will bring efficiencies and reduce frustrations for fleets, drivers, shippers, and receivers.
Convoy is making it easier for private fleets to access nationwide power-only capacity to haul preloaded and empty dry van trailers.
Tapping digital technologies improves visibility for shippers and brokers and quality of life for drivers.
Two major freight-tech logistics startups are linking their networks to provide seamless shipping across land, sea, and air – which will offer fleets working with them access to more loads.
During an eight-year partnership with Locomation, PGT Trucking will deploy 1,000 autonomous relay convoy systems to enable one driver to pilot a lead truck while a follower truck operates in tandem through a fully autonomous system.
Shippers are looking for ways to improve their sustainability, and third-party logistics providers and digital freight-matching companies are increasingly announcing ways to help them do that.
Of the survey respondents that indicated they are considering purchasing a truck within the next year, 94% said fuel economy was an important purchasing consideration.
Digital freight network provider Convoy has improved its drop-and-hook service, Convoy Go. The new version will offer fleets predictive trailer routing, automated reloads with batched routes, and improved telematics in its smart trailers
Convoy’s new TruckYeah Savings program offers participating carriers savings of up to $35,000 on certain expenses.
Convoy now offers Convoy Factoring, a new payment service for carriers that provides same or next-day payment, without hidden fees or lock-in contracts.
