CloudTrucks Increases Usage and Expands Load Provider Ecosystem to Empower Trucking Entrepreneurs

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Calif. — Increasing platform usage and strong driver earnings reinforce CloudTrucks’ position as a leading technology and service provider for trucking entrepreneurs

CloudTrucks, a leading technology and service provider for trucking entrepreneurs, today reported increasing product usage and an expansion of its load provider partner ecosystem. Since the beginning of the year, CloudTrucks’ owner operators have increased the number of loads completed by an average of ten percent month over month, and drivers continue to earn more on the platform. CloudTrucks also now has more than 50 integrations with load providers, up from just seven one year ago. The platform’s rapid and significant growth proves it is becoming a mainstay among independent truck drivers and owner operators, empowering one of our nation’s most essential workforces with the tools they need to earn more, stress less and grow their trucking businesses.


Independent drivers and owner operators leveraging CloudTrucks solutions – Virtual Carrier, Flex, CT Cash, and or CT Credit – are earning an average of $6,000 gross revenue per week. To date, customers using CloudTrucks have earned nearly $100,000,000 through the platform.

CloudTrucks now also aggregates loads from over 50 providers into one robust list, making it easier for owner operators to choose the most profitable load suited to their self-dispatch schedules. Customers can now view loads from industry-leading providers including XPO Logistics freight brokerage, 123Loadboard, Loadsmart and Echo Global Logistics right in the CloudTrucks app.

“I was a company driver for over six years,” said Hunter Beaudin, owner operator, NH Lone Wolf Transportation, LLC. “Since I joined CloudTrucks, I’ve learned a lot about running my own business and I’ve grown my revenue - despite current fuel prices and the macro environment. I love driving because it’s fulfilling knowing I’m helping to keep the country going, and it feels good to know I can accomplish more for myself with a tool like CloudTrucks in my pocket.”

“Owner operators regularly share how much they love to drive and want to build their businesses,” said David Dreyfus, head of expansion, CloudTrucks. “They deserve software that lets them easily drive while still effectively managing their trucking businesses. CloudTrucks is committed to delivering the tools they need in order to earn more, stress less and build the business of their dreams.”

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
