Overview

With dairy transportation utilization typically averaging less than 60%, carriers are always looking for ways to fill empty miles - at discounted rates. Unfortunately, the process of randomly calling around for loads leaves many good backhaul opportunities undiscovered. Dairy.com Transportation now provides shippers the opportunity to post spot or contract loads in seconds. Each rate request instantly triggers a notification to a nationwide network of carriers, who respond with rate quotes, giving the shipper a quick and easy way of finding load coverage at attractive rates. Shippers typically realize savings of 15-30% versus their regular rates, with savings of up to 50% on some loads.
