Technology news and briefs for the week of Dec. 4, 2022:
Loadsmith, a third-party capacity as a service logistics platform for shippers and carriers, is enhancing its capacity with Wabash’s trailers as a service offering.
The companies have partnered in a multi-year agreement to add new Loadsmith-branded Wabash DuraPlate dry van trailers into service over the coming years, giving carriers and shippers additional capacity to maximize operational and freight efficiency. The Wabash platform also provides Loadsmith with maintenance and repair provided by its national dealer network.
The added capacity through the Wabash platform allows Loadsmith to scale its offering to meet the needs of any size customer, engage with more shippers and deliver consistent freight for carriers. The company’s freight network allows small and mid-size carriers to scale their customer reach without making a significant capital investment, enabling them to take on high-volume lanes they may otherwise not be able to tap into.
Carriers can book, track and monitor trailers in real-time directly through the mobile Loadsmith driver app and its forthcoming carrier portal.
Heavy-duty truck repair software provider Fullbay has upgraded its payment processing by now accepting fleet checks and fleet cards.
With this new product integration, repair shops that use Fullbay Payments can now accept and manage fleet checks and fleet cards, along with credit card and ACH transactions, without needing a separate solution, helping to streamline the payment process for shops by making it easier to collect additional payment types from fleet customers and managing everything inside the Fullbay app.
