Spot Markets >> 

Dairy commodities are bulky and perishable and supply and demand change constantly. Therefore, fast and well-informed trading is mission critical. Now you can tap into Dairy.com's Spot Markets to gain nationwide load visibility at the exact moment you need to trade a dairy commodity or book transporation. 

Forward Contracts >> 

Nearly all dairy companies, both buyers and sellers, establish annual contracts to ensure base level needs are met. Dairy.com powers a national market where hundreds of companies gather to establish commodity and hauling contracts. Market test your current contracts and ensure you're getting the best available deal.

Scheduling >>

Dairy.com offers a powerful tool for dairy procurement and marketing personnel to gain visibility and control over their complex dairy supply chains by connecting plants, trading partners, and haulers on the web. This visibility and connectivity enables schedules to be optimized, communicated and adjusted in real-time. With Dairy.com, schedulers rise above the daily firefight to make their company's supply chains more responsive and efficient.  

Transportation >>

With dairy transportation equipment utilization averaging less than 60%, backhauls are extremely attractive. Unfortunately, with hundreds of haulers and dairy plants the traditional process of calling around randomly for loads leaves many backhaul opportunities undiscovered and money on the table for both shippers and haulers. Dairy.com's Transportation exchange reveals backhaul opportunities by enabling shippers to post loads in seconds, instantly notifying a large pool of (over 100) haulers and enabling them to respond with offers. Shippers often realize savings of 15, 30, even 50 percent and haulers convert empty miles to incremental revenue.
