Loadsmart launches ShipperGuide Marketplace for on-demand truckload shipping

Loadsmart, a next-generation logistics solutions provider, today announced the launch of ShipperGuide Marketplace, an on-demand platform that connects shippers with a trusted network of carriers to automatically match freight with full truckload capacity. Whether a shipper is handling a last-minute shipment or looking to cover a challenging lane, the Marketplace gives shippers a fast and reliable way to book spot capacity.

When a shipper posts their shipment details in the Marketplace, including origin, destination, and freight type, the system automatically provides FTL rates that can be quickly booked. Brokers and carriers within the network set pre-defined pricing and service conditions, and the Marketplace’s pricing engine automatically matches shipments with coverage that fits the defined criteria. This automates the bidding process, speeding up the entire spot quoting process for both parties.

“We created the ShipperGuide Marketplace to give shippers better control of their logistics. With instant rates from trusted partners and automation to get quoting done in a fraction of the time, the Marketplace is a game-changer for FTL freight,” said Giovanni Battistella, VP ShipperGuide TMS at Loadsmart.
