Digital Freight Networks for Small and Midsize Businesses

From fluctuating demand to uncertain capacity, 2020 has been a volatile year for shippers.

Small and midsize businesses have been hit especially hard, with transportation teams scrambling to adjust plans and operational budgets to accommodate swings in the freight market.

Many of the businesses we work with say that they’re looking for new ways to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve customer experience in the ‘new normal’.

Digital freight networks (DFNs) can help.

DFNs are freight marketplaces that use machine learning and automation to efficiently connect shippers and carriers.

They move millions of truckloads each year for shippers across the country.

Shippers in every industry are allocating more and more volume to digital freight networks based on their ability to improve operational efficiency, service quality, and supply chain visibility.
