Shared Truckload News, Freight Information Delivered On Time.
About Flock Freight:
Founded in 2015, Flock Freight is a FreightTech company fundamentally changing the way freight moves in the United States. With the invention of our shared truckload (STL) solution, FlockDirect®, shippers now have a new shipping solution that offers an alternative to traditional less-than-truckload (LTL) or full truckload (TL) services. By leveraging machine learning, our patented technology finds and fills trucks’ empty spaces and puts freight on the most efficient routes, creating significant value for shippers, carriers and the environment.
Based on Flock Freight’s findings, partially empty truckloads added up to the equivalent of one in four trucks moving completely empty last year.
Flock Freight offers a Shared Truckload service that provides an accurate, reliable and emission-reducing alternative to traditional truckload and less-than-truckload options.
Historically, companies have had two shipping options: less-than-truckload or truckload. Both tend to require some level of sacrifice from the shipper.
While navigating shifting market conditions can be stressful, shippers that focus their attention on increasing their own operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness can thrive during this time.
FlockDirect uses real-time data to pool freight for multiple customers going in the same direction. The solution effectively dismantles the physical hub-and-spoke constraints that have defined the supply chain for more than a century.
It is crucial for shippers to build flexibility into their transportation plans. This ongoing volatile environment has created an opportunity — and a necessity — for companies to take another look at how they move freight.
