FreightEmpire
FreightEmpire is a web-based freight bidding and load board marketplace for carriers, brokers, and shippers.
What FreightEmpire is
FreightEmpire is a web-based freight bidding and load board marketplace for carriers, brokers, and shippers. Brokers can post single or multiple loads using XLS files, receive carrier calls and emailed bids, manage shipper requests, and connect with shippers. Carriers can search by ZIP or city and state, origin and destination, and equipment type, then contact brokers or bid on loads. Listings include Truckload and LTL shipments, as well as expedited loads for Sprinter or cargo vans. The company says its network includes direct shippers seeking freight quotes or new broker relationships.
FreightEmpire supplies the bidding marketplace, but users arrange freight movement and payments between themselves. Accounts are for bona fide carriers, shippers, or intermediaries using the site for commercial freight movement, and require a verifiable physical address. Broker accounts are free to join at no cost. Carrier load board access costs $14.99 a month. The privacy policy says the site collects registration and interaction details such as names, email and mailing addresses, and phone numbers. It also describes cookies and Google AdSense advertising, including remarketing and reporting features.
