Choptank Transport Implements Advanced Operations Technology
One of the nation’s leading freight brokers serving the truckload temperature-controlled market has implemented the McLeod PowerBroker solution for operations management.
Geoff Turner, Choptank’s President and CEO who worked closely with McLeod’s management team during the system evaluation process said, “Because of the internet web portal capabilities in PowerBroker, Choptank will be able to share this enhanced visibility for the entire transit process with our carriers and customers. Choptank customers will be able to access not only the accurate and timely status information about their loads directly from the Internet, but they can also gain access to relevant and important documents through this secure Internet web portal. At the same time, we will make it easier for our carriers to find and accept the loads they are seeking.”
”We are extremely pleased to be working with Choptank Transport as they make this key information technology investment to take the company to the next level.” stated Tom McLeod, President and CEO of McLeod Software. “Choptank is the sort of industry leader that will take full advantage of the capabilities we are able to offer freight brokers, and leverage it to gain a competitive advantage in the market place.” He concluded, “We look forward to helping Choptank leverage PowerBroker to grow and expand their business in the years to come.”
