How Carriers Can Book Loads and Grow their Business Through Fleet Planner

As a carrier, it can be difficult to find consistent freight to grow your business. Oftentimes, you can spend hours searching through multiple load boards and sources to find freight that matches your lane preferences and working hours. Once you do secure a load, managing your fleet can be tedious and time consuming. Between juggling pen, paper, and spreadsheets, it’s easy to lose track of information and time. 

Now with Fleet Planner, you can both book freight and manage your fleet with a few clicks of a button – saving you time and a ton of frustration along the way. Instead of tediously looking through multiple load boards, keeping track of load information across notebooks or spreadsheets, and individually texting load information to drivers, you can do all this and more in Fleet Planner. It’s a free, online tool to secure loads directly through Transfix and organize your fleet, drivers, loads, and equipment information in one central place – making it a one-stop shop to manage your fleet and grow your business.
