Logistics software provider TMW Systems Inc. said Monday it has integrated its transportation management system (TMS) platform with freight matching services from 123Loadboard.

Cleveland-based TMW has linked its TMW.Suite and TruckMate transportation management products with the load board provider in order to help truckers, brokers, and shippers move their freight more efficiently. Users who hold accounts with both companies can now post loads or trucks to Montreal-based 123Loadboard's online marketplace via TMW's Freight Board Interface, TMW said.

Through the integration, TMW.Suite and TruckMate users have the ability to add, update, cancel, and remove loads from within their respective TMS programs, the firms said. Posted loads auto-populate in 123Loadboard, giving carriers and others using the platform access to a greater quantity of loads in real time. In addition, drivers can post trucks available for use, enabling brokers and asset-based carriers to take advantage of 123Loadboard's platform.

"This TMW integration will enable 123Loadboard members to post their loads and trucks to the load board quickly and easily using automation to simplify the process," Loarn Metzen, vice president of 123Loadboard, said in a release. "Plus, having immediate access to up-to-date load and truck data will ensure that 123Loadboard's platform remains efficient while helping brokers and fleet owners move greater freight volumes."

Survey: In-store shopping sentiment up 21%

E-commerce activity remains robust, but a growing number of consumers are reintegrating physical stores into their shopping journeys in 2024, emphasizing the need for retailers to focus on omnichannel business strategies. That’s according to an e-commerce study from Ryder System, Inc., released this week.

Ryder surveyed more than 1,300 consumers for its 2024 E-Commerce Consumer Study and found that 61% of consumers shop in-store “because they enjoy the experience,” a 21% increase compared to results from Ryder’s 2023 survey on the same subject. The current survey also found that 35% shop in-store because they don’t want to wait for online orders in the mail (up 4% from last year), and 15% say they shop in-store to avoid package theft (up 8% from last year).

Dock strike: Shippers seek ways to minimize the damage

As the hours tick down toward a “seemingly imminent” strike by East Coast and Gulf Coast dockworkers, experts are warning that the impacts of that move would mushroom well-beyond the actual strike locations, causing prevalent shipping delays, container ship congestion, port congestion on West coast ports, and stranded freight.

However, a strike now seems “nearly unavoidable,” as no bargaining sessions are scheduled prior to the September 30 contract expiration between the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the U.S. Maritime Alliance (USMX) in their negotiations over wages and automation, according to the transportation law firm Scopelitis, Garvin, Light, Hanson & Feary.

Wreaths Across America seeks carriers for December mission

National nonprofit Wreaths Across America (WAA) kicked off its 2024 season this week with a call for volunteers. The group, which honors U.S. military veterans through a range of civic outreach programs, is seeking trucking companies and professional drivers to help deliver wreaths to cemeteries across the country for its annual wreath-laying ceremony, December 14.

“Wreaths Across America relies on the transportation industry to move the mission. The Honor Fleet, composed of dedicated carriers, professional drivers, and other transportation partners, guarantees the delivery of millions of sponsored veterans’ wreaths to their destination each year,” Courtney George, WAA’s director of trucking and industry relations, said in a statement Tuesday. “Transportation partners benefit from driver retention and recruitment, employee engagement, positive brand exposure, and the opportunity to give back to their community’s veterans and military families.”
