Choose a Single, Unified Carrier Platform Over Faster Horses
If you’re using a patchwork of technologies with your carriers, consider using a single platform that provides a better experience for carriers instead. You can reduce check calls, find capacity faster, increase margins, offer better service to shippers, attract new customers and lower your cost per load all with one carrier-friendly platform: Trucker Tools. Sound too good to be true? It isn’t.

You can now get instant quotes and instantly insure loads, one at a time. Filing a claim is easy with Loadsure and settlements are paid out quickly. Also worth noting: Loadsure’s insurance is often cheaper than traditional cargo insurance.
Increase Carrier Stickiness, Simplify Communications with Broker Advantage
With Trucker Tools’ Broker Advantage, you can streamline your communications with carriers and boost your company’s profile within the trucking community that uses Trucker Tools driver app. Brokerage Advantage gives you the ability to have a home page for your business within the Trucker Tools driver app. On this home page, you can share links, info on loads, news, incentives and discounts with carriers.
