Why Online Freight Marketplaces Such as Freightera Are the Way to Go<\/span><\/h2>\n

You\u2019re a small or medium business owner and you just need to get your cargo from point A to point B.<\/span><\/p>\n

You contact a carrier, negotiate a price and it\u2019s done. Great.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then you need to move your cargo from point A to point C. Tough, that same carrier can\u2019t help you. They don\u2019t service that lane or they\u2019re asking for a fortune. Things get annoying real fast if you need to ship your goods on more than one lane.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why freight marketplaces exist<\/b>. Let us explain.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you come to a market, you rightfully expect to be able to find everything in that one place. There are plenty of affordable options within arms reach.<\/span><\/p>\n

As opposed to that, regular stores have limited choices and if you need to buy several different articles, it\u2019s expected that you might have to visit several different stores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In that same way, <\/span>if you\u2019re looking to ship your cargo to multiple locations, instead of going to multiple different carriers for separate services and keeping track of everything, the easiest thing to do is to go to a freight marketplace.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

How does Freightera work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s simple! After you\u2019ve signed up using your company\u2019s information, you request a quote for wherever within North America you need to ship and voil\u00e0, you have a selection of multiple carriers to choose from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can choose to sort them by pricing, emissions reduction, speed, etc. All you need to do is pick the option that suits your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why would I choose a freight marketplace (such as Freightera)?<\/span><\/h3>\n

By this point, you might be thinking that there\u2019s no point in such a platform. You can just go to carriers directly and bypass the third party.<\/span><\/p>\n

To that, we say yes and no.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we mentioned earlier, you could technically go to different carriers for different lanes but if you\u2019re shipping more than 2 shipments per month, you\u2019ll soon regret that. You or your accounting team will <\/span>have to keep track of all the different carriers, their best lanes, their pros, cons, speed, and reliability<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why not let a smart, dedicated system do all that for you? At the same time, <\/span>you\u2019ll have all of your shipments, paperwork, and charges in one place<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What about tracking my shipment?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Again, you\u2019re right to ask this and we\u2019re here to tell you that even that is easier in one place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine having ten active shipments this week and having to look all over for your tracking numbers or saving them in an excel spreadsheet. What if you forgot to delete your last week\u2019s numbers? We can see the tear forming in the corner of your eye just thinking about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you <\/span>use one service that can handle all your shipments at once, in one place<\/b> with people behind the screen able to help you with every step along the way that tear recedes real quick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What about customer service?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Freight carriers are in the business of transporting goods from A to B. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll often (not always!) find that their customer service is severely lacking. You may get partial information, no callbacks after you\u2019ve been promised them, or even representatives laughing at you for normal questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Third-party companies such as <\/span>Freightera realize this and along with competitive shipment pricing that is necessary for customer satisfaction, strive for the best possible customer service<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We realize that our clients don\u2019t like freight shipping. They need it. You, the client, will always pick the easiest and most convenient option, and why wouldn\u2019t you?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If trains were faster than airplanes, most people who aren\u2019t flying enthusiasts would switch over. Wouldn\u2019t you?<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, those are the reasons why we think <\/span>you\u2019re better off using a freight marketplace for shipping any amount of cargo, especially if you\u2019re shipping to multiple locations regularly<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n
