Loadsmart

We're celebrating a decade of moving more with less! 🚚 ⏩ Check out this video featuring 'Loadies' speaking about their experience at Loadsmart over the years! Learn more about our 10-year milestone here: https://hubs.li/Q02Kv7xk0

Halloween is over and the true holiday season is officially underway! For the logistics industry, this means all hands on deck for the next two months to keep shipments moving and shelves stocked. 🎃 How are you feeling heading into Thanksgiving?

At Loadsmart, we have Loadies working remotely from different cities. Once a month, we come together for our on-site meetups, which empowers one of our core values of #Teamwork. 🤝 "As the Director of Engineering, I’ve seen how these gatherings foster strong connections and promote team building across the company," said Rodrigo Wirth. "These meetups allow people from different teams and departments to get to know each other, enhancing collaboration and creating a stronger sense of belonging. This leads to better interactions, faster problem-solving, and a unified team working towards common goals."

NavTrac is an AI-powered asset management solution that uses Optical Character Recognition to capture alphanumerics off of assets at the point of arrival and departure. 🤖 👀 If that made your eyes glaze over—think of it as using technology to “see” the trailers coming into your yard and cataloging their details. This makes it easy to know what is happening in your yard at any given moment! Watch this video to learn how NavTrac improves efficiency and data accuracy ⤵️

Manually managing your transportation operations can feel like you're stuck in a spider's web—going nowhere fast. 🕷️ 🕸️ If you want to break free, a transportation management system like ShipperGuide TMS can be your secret weapon!

Managing your facility info in ShipperGuide TMS just got even easier! 🎉 We've added: - New powerful search, filter, and pagination options - Customizable facility operating hours and expanded address fields - Country flag and Opendock integration icons All of this gives you more control over your facilities for smoother load execution down the road.

Shippers can’t control natural disasters... ... but that doesn’t mean you have to sit back and wait for them to throw your operation into chaos. 🌪️ Recent storms are reminders of how far-reaching the impact of extreme weather can be. And winter weather is right around the corner. One big nor’easter and the ripple effect will be felt across your network. 🧭 Logistics managers: your best bet? Be proactive with a plan B. Here’s how: 🔶 Flexible Scheduling - Shipping times and ETAs are less reliable in crises. Adapt by adding extra time and clear communication. 🔶 Spot Capacity Access - Contracted rates are only useful if there’s a truck to pick up freight. Partner up with brokers who can offer trusted, on-demand capacity. 🔶 Real-Time Track & Trace - Keep everyone informed on shipment statuses. 🔶 24/7 Support - Problems don’t wait for business hours—ensure you have solutions on standby. 🔶 Safe, Reliable Carriers - Find quality carriers when capacity’s tight. 🔶 Expedite When Needed - Consider cost-effective expediting options if timelines become critical. Preparation before disaster strikes is key. Let’s talk today to help you create a resilient supply chain! Check out the blog linked in the comments to read more ⤵️
