So many brokers have said that their customers want the closest unit no matter what the price is. Why? Because they are already paying so much money for small boxes to be shipped from commercial settings that they want someone who can pick up their expensive freight in under an hour. This is also true for large straight trucks that transport more weight and larger sized pallets directly from manufactures. This is where our Map App helps you because we show you exactly where to go so you get the load quicker and faster than before. No more waiting long hours or even days!

In this industry there are 3 factors that get you a load.

  • Luck
  • Price
  • Distance To Pick Up

Can’t help you with luck or the price just yet, but for now we can help you with the distance to pick up. 

Brokers in the expedited hot shot cargo industry want vans and trucks under 60 miles away. For example, if there are three drivers who are 60, 20, and 6 miles away from the load. Who do you think will get the load? No matter what the price is, the unit who is the closest to the pick up city will get the load 100% of the time.

We know what’s it like sitting and waiting for cargo that’s why we launched our app. In this blog we will talk about the spots to wait for.

As you know or became familiar there are the typical spots where you would wait. Truck stops and grocery store parking lots. We agree that these typical locations like truck stops are the safest areas to wait overnight and rest. However during the day time you are there with several other vehicles that want the same thing as you. Get a load and get out of there as quickly as possibly.

That’s why we have our app so you know exactly where to go to limit your wait. We suggest driving close to our spots in the daytime to improve your chances, then checking in with your dispatch with your new location. Ideally with more users we are gonna be able to grow our app out so you can get loads directly through us and not have to check in and not have to wait!

When it comes to waiting obviously some places will not have enough space for large trucks or even sprinters but that’s why we give full access to our map. The premium map includes search features so you can search for grocery stores, parking spots, truck stops, coffee, etc and even get directions to these areas. You will be surprised to find out how quickly you get loads out of certain areas. Even knowing the zip codes and hot areas you can find grocery stores or other public places to park your vehicle near by.

Feel free to share some stories or spots you stayed during your career as an expediter.

While everyone was somehow affected by Covid 19, the transportation industry was hit in all sectors including expedite, rail, air, and vans. A once upon a time trillion dollar industry in the United States, Covid 19 has declined the transportation sector to roughly 770 billion dollars. The decline is mostly due to economic slowdown and inability to keep the people safe from the virus.

We knew the hardest hit months were April and May because the drivers that we are in contact with have all complained that they were barely doing 3 loads a week. We were all affected small companies and big companies like Synder, JB Hunt, YRC worldwide. As things start to bounce back and recover drivers are still worried about going over the road.

The fear is real and as far as we know most major truck stops have not implement large scale cleaning operations. Everything still looks and feels the same at the majority of truck stops we toured. We do hope that as business start to open up and companies are implementing new measures to be safe, that the transportation industry will start up again.

This transition should trickle down from semi-tracks to air, rail, and even expedited cargo markets. We are sure that the US market will bounce back but we are predicting that the Asia-Pacific market will bounce back the highest helped my China and India.
