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
Due to the ongoing volatility in fuel prices, Truckit is clarifying our stance on price adjustments. While our core policy remains that quotes should be all-inclusive, we recognise that rapid fluctuations in operating costs can occasionally necessitate a post-booking fuel levy. To be clear, the fundamental way you quote on Truckit isn’t changing: you should still aim to incorporate all anticipated fees, charges, and overheads into your initial quote. We are simply being more tolerant of price adjustments made after a booking has occurred, provided they are strictly related to fuel costs and are handled with total transparency. The most […]
