Estes Truckload Management Provides Private Fleet Capacity to Kuebix TMS

The Addition of FleetMAX

Kuebix, one of the industry’s fastest-growing transportation management system (TMS) providers and connected shipping communities, has announced the addition of FleetMAX to its Community Load Match service.

FleetMAX is a Kuebix integrated platform that exposes private and dedicated fleets’ open capacity to brokers and Kuebix TMS shippers.

These private fleets are managed through Estes Truckload Management providing Kuebix users access to 10,000+ fleet assets through one of the most trusted names in the industry.

Kuebix TMS users searching for truckload capacity can compare spot quotes in Community Load Match from a vast network including brokers, carriers and freight marketplaces.

Now, with the addition of Estes Truckload Management to Community Load Match, Kuebix shippers gain access to FleetMAX’s network of private fleets and settlement management from a brand they know and trust.

“Although a large percentage of private fleets often run empty, this capacity has not been easily accessible to shippers, until now,” stated Dan Clark, Founder and President of Kuebix.

“The addition of FleetMAX to Community Load Match through Estes Truckload Management increases the available spot quote options, allowing shippers to cover all truckloads with a cost-effective and reliable carrier.”

“The combination of Kuebix and Estes Truckload Management has created a win-win by allowing private fleets to fill empty miles and shippers to gain a new source of truckload capacity,” commented Bobby Speight, Corporate Vice President, Estes Level2 Logistics, and General Manager, Estes Truckload Management LLC.

Shippers simply enter the specifics of their truckload shipment in Kuebix TMS and post it to Community Load Match.

Within minutes, shippers begin receiving truckload rates, including private fleet spot quotes from Estes Truckload Management.

Shippers retain control with Kuebix by choosing the best provider for every truckload shipment.

Once a service provider is selected, shipments can be tendered and tracked within the TMS, making the process of truckload shipment management highly efficient.

Community Load Match is available at no additional cost to all Kuebix users, including Free Shipper, one of the industry’s fastest-growing free TMS systems.

Now, any size company with truckload freight to ship can easily find more capacity and get better pricing.

Turn Empty Backhaul Miles into Revenue

Kuebix FleetMAX allows fleet owners to maximize the utilization and return on their assets while providing shippers/brokers with additional truckload capacity that would have otherwise gone unused. The idea of filling fleet backhauls is not a new concept, yet studies show that approximately 50% of trucks are empty on their return journey after making a delivery.

Transportation management systems are transitioning from being “inside the four walls” applications to becoming operating systems that power transportation communities and enable network effects.

Advancements in technology - most notably, cloud computing, software-as-a-service, application programming interfaces, and mobile computing - are making it easier for shippers, carriers, and brokers of all sizes, as well as private fleets and others in the transportation ecosystem, to more easily integrate and transact with one another.
