How and Why did Highway Direct come to be?
A group of shippers became tired of the old method of finding an over the road truck driver. These were the things they wanted to know quickly and efficiently:
discover who was geographically located
had adequate experience
the equipment to haul their cargo
adequately insured
& was able to be contacted!
These shipping managers for corporations and individuals had to rely on others to collate the information as it was not readily available. To adequately streamline the system, the shipping manager needed a method to communicate with those individuals directly, gather and collate the information quickly, and offer the job to the first Driver in the list ASAP. The idea is to create a system that, with more information available and more transparency, will drive the market to a lower, more efficient price. We know the system needs to be fast, secure, capable, and always available. We feel this is what we have achieved with Highway Direct. Highway Direct then inherently provides alternatives for these things;
Shipping managers do not have to turn over paperwork to “Get Bid”
Shipping managers who do not have time to solicit bids for their loads individually now can
Companies can and do track shipments with their own documentation (PO,Invoice#) via our system.
