"Put simply, we are offering a service which matches loads with empty trucks in the smartest possible way," he says. While the service is still in its infancy, Davies says that the industry’s response to it has been extremely positive.

"We are aware that drivers don’t often have access to the web so we
have developed an instant SMS system which alerts them to potential
loads." The site also rates operators according to their commitment to
truck safe and fatigue management programs.

Smart!
