Neutral Internet Marketplace
We have made every effort to ensure the BestTransport.com websites are a
neutral trading platform where all parties can come together to conduct business. The BestTransport.com marketplace promotes the opportunity for all community members to succeed and thrive.
The design, business rules, and pricing of BestTransport.com has been carefully structured to maintain fairness to shippers and carriers of all sizes. Through its websites, BestShippers.com and BestCarriers.com, our community members communicate their real-time business requirements. BestTruckBrokers.com is a traditional load-posting service used in conjunction with telephone contact. Shippers, carriers, 3PLs, and brokers conduct business in an easy-to-use, real-time, secure e-marketplace. All parties quickly gain a comfort level interfacing with user-friendly systems that "feel" like their current processes.
Build Transportation Relationships
All good relationships are built on timely and effective
communications. We understand how important good relationships are between carriers and shippers. As a carrier, you continue doing business with you current customers as well as
efficiently develop new business partners utilizing the communications power of the Internet. BestCarriers.com allows you to identify potential new shippers who have freight in lanes that are profitable for you. You can also use the carrier/shipper neutral contract within the BestCarriers.com website as the basis to form new contractual agreements with your new shippers. All carriers, regardless of size, can now conduct business with their shippers over the Internet – without the costs and initial startup efforts required with EDI.
Twenty-First Century Communications Technology
Timely and complete communication enhances business relationships. BestCarriers.com provides Internet-based communications tools to keep your trucking company competitive in the twenty-first century. We realize the trucking business is changing very rapidly. Communications you have been conducting by phone, fax, e-mail, EDI or U.S. mail are now managed electronically through the Internet. BestCarriers.com enables carriers to communicate with their shippers seamlessly, bypassing and eliminating the time previously spent on phoning and faxing. Using the Internet, these rules-based communications can be very robust, and ensure timely and accurate transmission of data and records on all transactions. You can receive tender loads, schedule pick-ups and deliveries, while transmitting accurate timely information to customers. All transactions are completed according to your agreed to standards, with performance accountability.
With No Changes in Your Business Processes
Carriers use BestCarriers.com to communicate with their current
shippers the same way they do today while gaining visibility to other freight for increased business potential. Additionally, carriers will see tendered freight faster than ever before thus
permitting better optimization of equipment. No more dreaded phone tag with your shippers. Brokers, in addition to using BestTransport's latest Internet technology tools, also have
the choice of using BestTruckBrokers.com, and can list available loads and their phone numbers so carriers can contact them with availableequipment. This is just another added value to our
Community, helping logistic providers and carriers alike.
