Logistics News: Logistics - Shipping - Packaging

LTCquickbid.com is an online, automated freight brokerage system that is provided at no cost to the shippers. Additionally, the Carrier Membership receives the added benefit of dealing directly with the shipper. This represents a significant departure from other load boards that specialize in carrier-to-carrier transaction. Other load boards do not provide the opportunity for the carrier to develop the long-term relationship with the shipper. On WWW.LTCquickbid.com, the carrier actually interacts directly with the shipper and invoices the shipper directly providing the opportunity to develop long-term relationships. The Shipper also benefits by being able to enter the transportation needs one time and receiving multiple bids to select from. Each bid includes the carrier’s quality rating that is generated from Shipper completed surveys. Additionally, www.LTCquickbid.com provides for blind bidding, ensuring that the price and quality are the deciding factors not name recognition. This allows the smaller carrier to compete on the same field as the larger carriers. Other tools that WWW.LTCquickbid.com provides include: Executive dashboard that shows current status of the transportation; Reporting features that include quality ratings and invoice amounts and various other reports and notification settings.

Mr. Dave Dobbins, COO of IBP Corporation Inc. Owner of www.LTCQuickbid.com provided some interesting insight as to remarks from the current users. “Users have stated in several emails that the ease of use is a marked difference from when the shipper would have to contact various transportation companies for bids” Dave Dobbins has been in the logistics industry for the last twenty plus years and has applied his in-depth knowledge of the logistics industry to the foundational principals of WWW.LTCQuickbid.com. His input has provided several enhancements that you do not see in any of the load boards or in the use of brokers.
