Fleets participating in the TCA Profitability Program (TPP) gain access to benchmarking data that can help them improve operations.
Convoy, the powerful nationwide trucking network and platform for both shippers and carriers, is partnering with FreightWaves on the first-ever Shipper of Choice Award.
The TCA and FreightWaves announced “Truckload Indexes”, a benchmark and commentary partnership that will provide near-time benchmarking of major operational and financial KPIs from best-in-class truckload carriers. This exclusive set of data points enable carriers of all sizes to compare how different data points impact the overall profitability and operating efficiency of truckload carriers.
As Phil Wilt, the president and COO of American Central Transport said, “I had heard about a driver shortage for the 12 years I’ve been in the industry. It’s finally arrived.”
The Truckload Carriers Association and CarriersEdge are accepting nominations for the annual Best Fleets to Drive For survey. Nominations for the 10th annual survey will be accepted until Oct. 31, 2017.
