Nations Largest Owner Operator Group Teams With TransCore To Offer Load Matching Service

“OOIDA is constantly looking for ways to help our members increase profitability. The more we can do to help our members find profitable freight in the right lanes, the better,” said OOIDA president Jim Johnston.

Through this service, OOIDA members gain favorable access to the largest source of load information in North America while TransCore will benefit from a relationship with the industry’s most reputable owner operators.

OOIDA members using the new service can search loads and post trucks using a variety of methods, including the Internet, fax, or via phone. A number of unique service packages will be offered and members will receive a discount off normal TransCore DAT fees. At various product levels, the service features up-to-the minute load listings, free truck postings, tools to evaluate financial stability of new partners, credit scores and days-to-pay for every load poster, and lane activity analysis to help determine favorable routes.

As part of the new service, a dedicated toll-free number will provide OOIDA members access to focused sales and support staff.
