In the latest episode of "The FreightCaviar Podcast", we sit down with Grace Maher and Jonathan McCormack of OTR Solutions. They shared their take on the current freight market, freight fraud, and talked about OTR's new platform for carriers.
Flock Freight, a freight tech company, recently addressed the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) in an open letter. CEO Oren Zaslansky highlights a significant inefficiency in the logistics industry: approximately 50% of heavy-duty trucks operate with half of their capacity unused.
The letter dropped some more interesting numbers based on that stat:
Underutilization: This results in about 25% of freight space being wasted.
FlockDirect Impact: Flock Freight's service, FlockDirect, uses algorithms to fill these empty spaces, potentially reducing diesel carbon emissions by up to 40%.
The company's proposed solution, aimed at optimizing truckload efficiency, could lead to lowered shipping costs and environmental benefits. With their approach, Flock Freight seeks to collaborate with the USDOT to enhance supply chain resilience.
