Hey Providers.
It's Rob here, I wanted to touch base before everyone goes on their Christmas and New Year break.
I know it's a really busy time of the year, but I thought I'd do a quick video to tell you about a few things, that's happening around the site.
And also thank you for all your hard work in 2023!
First thing, I want to let you know a little bit about Offer Now.
You may see some Listings coming through with Offer Now.
Now, that's where the Customer gets to name their price and you guys can accept it straight away.
It takes out all the negotiation, reduces the time spent on quoting, and speeds up the process.
It's only available to Customers who pay for that privilege.
So, it's sort of putting their money where their mouth is.
The next thing is, we've done a partnership with Stratton Finance. They are really good in the truck finance space. If you're looking for finance, to refinance a vehicle, or looking to buy a new vehicle as part of 2024 then you'll see there's a Truck Finance menu item in your Profile Settings. You can click on that and easily get a quote and then get their assistance.
We've got a pretty good deal with those guys and I think they'll be able to help you to the refinance or get new finance for a truck, so give it a try.
Another very important thing is we've launched our new Vehicle Manager. It's replacing Vehicle Types.
The Vehicle Manager now looks after a whole lot of data about the Vehicles you have and it's really important that we get that data right. It is very important that we know what it is that you are using so we can do all our matching algorithms correctly, to make sure we match you with the right jobs.
Also, we've got more of a sales team here that's more outbound in trying to connect you with contracted freight.
So it's really important to enter your correct vehicle data if you want to be part of that Premium Provider Program.
Finally, Merry Christmas guys and girls, have a fantastic Christmas and New Year's break.
No doubt there'll be the standard sort of things that go on in Australia with floods, cyclones, fires and rail outages. I know there'll be a lot of you standing by to help out when that happens.
We'll be keeping in touch with you, have a great time, Merry Christmas and have a safe break.
Cheers,
Rob
Key Takeaways Pallets might not be flashy, but they’re the backbone of freight and logistics. Whether you’re sending one item or a full truckload, chances are a pallet is doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. But here’s the thing – not all pallets are the same. Pallet size, weight, and capacity can seriously impact how efficiently your goods are moved and how much it’s all going to cost. That’s why getting familiar with pallet dimensions isn’t just for warehouse professionals – it’s something every business (big or small) should know. A poor fit can mean wasted space, damaged goods, […]
Key Takeaways From January 2025, Australia will introduce mandatory climate reporting laws – a major shift aligning business operations with national climate goals and international frameworks like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. It’s part of a growing global push for accountability as governments and industries set clearer expectations on how companies disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. For the transport and logistics sector, the impact is especially significant. With transport emissions making up a large portion of Australia’s carbon footprint, freight businesses will soon be required to track, measure and report their emissions across the supply chain – from fuel use […]
