Web based load matching services to streamline the backdated system of Indian transportation market

In the past all the activities in the Indian transportation & logistics sectors were performed manually with direct dial-up links between users and providers and through freight brokers for getting verbal details of loads. Showing the details of loads and vehicles were not possible and so matching between loads and vehicles could not be performed.

Computer/Web based load matching is considered to be the most effective and useful way to automate and streamline the process for the people engaged in the Indian transportation & logistics market.

The online load matching provides mutual benefits for load providers and vehicle owners. The Internet provides worldwide access. A consignor/load provider posts an obtainable load, and each carrier from all the over the world get the ability to view it within a second. Similarly if a carrier/vehicle/fleet owner posts an empty vehicle, any freight broker, traffic manager, shipper with accessible freight will be able to view that instantly.

The logistics companies, freight brokers, transporters, traffic managers will reap the benefits of getting a streamlined method for communicating their loads with all carriers at once.

Beside extensive online publicity, the concept has to be supported by an off-line model also.  An outsized network of community should be built up for its achievement and that might take time. Anyone getting into this will need to have deep pockets to keep the concept afloat. Revenue model for all the stakeholders involved have to be a win concept.

Suain logistics is offering a wide array of benefits for truckers and loaders through their online load board


Load board concept was widely used in America & Canada for more than 15 years for making the transportation system more advanced and speedy. Now-a-days load board concept is also emerging in India.
A loadboard, otherwise known as a freight board is a web based bulletin board useful for Shippers, carriers and their intermediaries to dispatch/match their services online.  
A bigger portion of freight containing 1 billion tons per year all over the country, or 20% of all commercial truck freight is being moved on load boards.
Through a load board the companies covering freight can meet new carriers requiring hauling loads.  The most important feature of load board is to solve the problem of back load. As for instance a trucker working for a large carrier can get himself at the end of an extended haul and requiring driving home, but not getting a load to pack his truck.  Wanting to stay away from running an empty truck, the trucker’s dispatcher may rely on a load board to get a one-time freight shipment obtainable at the same direction as the trucker.  He can then call the shipper straight to organize a deal, load the truck, and keep away from the cost of driving empty.
Posting a Load
Carriers will illustrate the nature of their equipment required to haul their freight, where the freight is, and where it is to be delivered.  After being posted, the load will be observable to thousands of carriers with millions of trucks who are looking for well-matched loads and calling load providers to settle a deal. 
Searching for Carriers
Carriers will vigorously explore load boards so that they can get freight to match their requirements.  They will also post their trucks, hence shippers and their intermediaries can locate them and contact them directly. 
As for example many trucks lack of a specific destination in mind. Many carriers prefer to set out anywhere ensuring a good load at a reasonable rate.  Carriers often seek freight to pack a “back haul” or a return trip from a previous destination. 

Suain logistics is going to launch load board concept first time in India to abolish the tedious & time consuming manual process to arrange for loads and trucks.

Load Board brings efficiency in freight marketplace


In recent years freight load boards keep a stronghold on the transportation industry. Freight Load Board is a useful internet based medium for the companies to be connected with each other for taking part in the open freight market. The open freight market contains all the freight loads and is the biggest part of the truck load freight industry.
Internet based load board is just like a website intended to provide information on open market freight loads. The Load Board facilitates the freight brokers to have a better chance to distribute information on their loads which they are attempting to cover through the world wide web. Previously carriers would have to sign some contracts for freight to be headed for other states where no customers were available, will now be able to easily seek out accessible freight in those states returning to their base state.

Most of the loads posted on freight load boards may cover a mileage of 500 miles or more. The load sizes may vary from full truck load (FTL), or less than truckload (LTL). These types of loads are considered as standard freight required to be hauled in a regular 53' van trailer, or freight necessitating specialized equipment like refrigerated, flatbed, curtain side, drop deck, bulk hopper, or some other trailer purposely considered for the type of cargo hauled. The carriers who are looking for freight to haul can search by location, distance, and freight type through a freight load board.
