Brad Hollister Not Ready to Give Release Date for Anticipated www.freightaccess.com Marketplace
http://blog.freightaccess.com/2010/08/freight-access-com-freight-marketplace-set-to-be-unvieled/ CHICAGO, IL: Freight Access, Inc. announced today their company is approaching the anticipated discharge of the world's first freight marketplace. The software technologies supplier has been in research and production in excess of two years in order to produce a platform for all stakeholders in the freight, cargo, transportation, trucking and logistics industry. Brad Hollister, the company's co-founder and Director of Business Development said "As a transportation executive who has a broad range of industry experience, we have identified the elements on the industry which cause problems for the stakeholders. We have focused on developing a suite of low cost solutions to help fellow transportation professionals have access to real time data to make informed and sound business decisions." Freight Access, Inc. (http://www.freightaccess.com) has focused on identifying the issues of the freight market from many points of view and included solutions to all of them in to the brand new and remarkably anticipated solution for merely $11 per month. Freight Access, Inc. touts its determination of unquestionably improving the lives of others by helping to make everyday operations even better, enabling users to make better use of company resources and select only effective logistics partners and reducing risk in exploring new freight partners. Hollister stated "There are a lot of mis-conceptions in the industry pertaining to reducing transportation costs. Most former freight and carrier executives elect to take a position as a third party logistics provider or supply chain consultant, who are ready to teach shippers and manufacturers how to reduce transportation costs. The problem is these freight professionals themselves do not understand the forces the market plays on the freight industry, as they have come from a single carrier who focused on getting freight and adjusting pricing up and down to attract new shippers. These former LTL (less than truckload) and truckload vice presidents typically come and offer to take a freight profile, a company benchmark, and then send out a request for pricing with all carriers to get a 'bid' from all of them. The largest pricing requests I have seen include 150 or more carriers and take months to analyze. A seriously antiquated approach, which provides seriously limited results. The approach at www.freightaccess.com is different. Let's do this for every shipment. Let's get a new Request for Pricing for every single shipment sent out. This way carriers and owner operators win by filling empty trucks and shippers are able to benefit by filling empty capacity in real time." Freight Access, Inc. has identified a trend in the freight industry amongst carriers during the past market cycle. Numerous Owner Operators have recognized that finding freight which makes sense to haul is very difficult, consequently sometimes these types of independent truck drivers wind up working for just one or several third party logistics firms or even larger carriers. These ltl carriers or truckload carriers have got a direct interest in minimizing the actual amount the truck drivers are receiving and so their profits increase and frequently owner operators find the actual amount they are actually being paid for a load is barely able to cover costs of driving. Additionally, many third party logistics firms have sprung up which are not paying drivers within adequate terms, if at all in a few cases. The freight industry has been desiring the low cost tools offered by Freight Access.com for some time. Steve Obregon, Owner Operator from Obregon Trucking in Wisconsin is a strong supporter of Freight Access's platform. "I've looked at what they're doing and can't wait to get going on it. I am sick of sitting for days for one of my brokers to call me with a load. I constantly call them to say you got one yet, you got one yet? It will so nice to find a load before I even get to the place and also to look about if I'm making or losing money on it." Freight Access, Inc.'s freight marketplace technologies is presently concluding beta tests.
