Trucking & LogisticsOther4HighFreight Broker$ implied

A freight broker had to manually coordinate a tail-to-tail transload to fix an overweight axle, causing 24+ hours of disruption, because there was no software to pre-plan pallet placement and axle weights.

Existing load planning tools do not provide an easy, visual way to arrange pallets to ensure axle weights are legal before loading, leading to costly and time-consuming transloads.
