SmartTruckRoute Truck GPS App Offers Free Freight Matching: Combining True Truck Navigation and Routing with Free Trulos Load Board

    BOSTON, MA, April 05, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There are over 10.5 billion tons of freight moved annually in the U.S. requiring over 3.4 million heavy-duty Class 8 trucks and over 3.5 million truck drivers.* Load matching is essential, and streamlining that process saves truckers and shippers time and money. SmartTruckRoute has partnered with Trulos to provide independent truck drivers with the ability to see loads along their current route or a future route, simplifying the process of obtaining back hauls, filling partial loads, and obtaining full loads based on the truck type, load location, and suitable truck routing. This solution provides a unique combination of true truck routing and navigation with load displays.

According to Ed Friedman, SmartTruckRoute Project Manager, "Our partnership with Trulos allows us to provide truck drivers with a friendly way to display loads and navigate using truck specific routes avoiding low bridges and gives drivers more control over securing loads." The load board display is part of an ongoing effort by TeleType and Trulos to offer new opportunities for the independent driver to obtain additional revenue and maximize the return on investment for their truck.
