Load tracking is an important aspect of cargo shipping as clients expect regular updates on the delivery status of cargo. This tracking is available for each step of the delivery process. For companies that handle the logistics of delivery and for freight brokers, load tracking (truckload visibility) allows for close monitoring of cargo while aboard the truck. The following are benefits of load tracking during freight transport.
Responsiveness to Events
Real-time freight visibility allows shippers to quickly respond to unforeseen events. For example, when shippers learn of an accident that could delay cargo delivery, they immediately notify the client. This promotes transparency, maintains quality customer service, and assists freighters in remaining competitive in the marketplace.
Truck Rerouting
Cargo delivery is unpredictable with delays caused by traffic accidents, traffic congestion, road closure, landslides, and severe weather such as fog, snow, and ice. With a load tracking system, freight companies learn about these disruptions early and respond by rerouting trucks if necessary. They achieve these goals by monitoring highway departments and weather services which broadcast storm warnings and road closures in advance.
Reduce Disruptions during Delivery
With a load tracking system, there is no need to disrupt a driver with frequent phone calls. A simple load check can instead precisely map and show the location of freight. This improved efficiency and safety leaves drivers free to concentrate on the road while also reducing the time wasted in communication with drivers.
