Internet Truckstop’s new Request for Proposal (RFP) Suite, is an advanced, cloud based system which requires no software installation and allows users to create, distribute and compete in the RFP Process.
“Our goal in developing the RFP suite was to provide our customers with a ground breaking RFP solution that would reduce the amount of time spent compiling data while also providing additional carrier capacity if needed when bidding on a RFP’s,” says Leigh Foxall, Director, Freight Matching. “Users can invite their pre-qualified core carrier group to participate in an RFP session as well as reach out to new potential carriers that are members of the Internet Truckstop community. Our service allows for customization to meet a user specific needs with user preferences being customized all the way down to lane choices. Users can quickly respond to RFP’s with a detailed understanding of their own available margins per lane as truck and rate history is uploaded directly into the platform.”
Internet Truckstop says their new RFP suite will help users manage their businesses and provide a single on-demand system to easily consolidate, organize, schedule, host, and award or accept lanes to selected transportation partners.

Trans4Cast Powered by Internet Truckstop Market Demand Index (MDI) Increases 7%
New Plymouth, Idaho September 5, 2012–Internet Truckstop, the largest web-based freight matching service in the transportation industry reports that the Market Demand Index (MDI) increased 7% to 12.96 from 12.14 the previous week as reported in the weekly Trans4Cast.
The overall average equipment rate increased 4% to $2.17 from $2.10 the previous week. Flatbed rates remained unchanged at $2.01 from the previous week. Reefer rates increased 3% to $2.21 from $2.14 the previous week. Specialized truck rates increased 4% to $2.54 from $2.45 the previous week. Van rates increased 7% to $1.92 from $1.79 the previous week.
“The flat-line trend for trucking metrics broke this week, with volumes and rates moving significantly to the upside. This improvement in loads is partly seasonal, but is also attributable to a mildly improving economic climate. However, the overall economic outlook for trucking remains relatively weak, supporting expectations of moderate but unimpressive growth for the sector across the second half of 2012.” Jeremy West, Internet Truckstop Economist

Internet Truckstop Recently Announced its additional service, Carrier Registration Service (CRS)
NEW PLYMOUTH, Idaho—August 11, 2011—Internet Truckstop, the largest Internet-based freight matching service in the transportation industry, announces a major enhancement to the truckstop.com website by adding Carrier Registration Service CRS and CRS PLUS. CRS Allows a company to streamline the carrier on boarding process and move freight faster.
How does it work
A company provides information on the type of carrier with which they will do business. Criteria such as length of time in business, type of equipment and Carrier Performance Rating help the company target the carriers. The company logo directs a carrier to the company’s broker/carrier agreement. A carrier reads and signs the agreement and with a simple click the paperwork approval process on the carrier begins. CRS delivers to the company a complete carrier file including the contract, W-9, insurance certificates and more.
“With the transportation industry struggling to find capacity to meet freight demands, Internet Truckstop is the only load board that offers its carrier member’s easy access to companies that match their “paperwork approved” carriers requirements,” said Scott Moscrip, president Internet Truckstop.
Developed in collaboration with Registry Monitoring Insurance Services (RMIS), “CRS plus creates a personalized carrier registration Web site that can accommodate a company with four pages of contract documents or forty four pages of contract documents all needing to be signed,” said Hayden Landon, president RMIS. “Our customers tell us that the carriers that use the site instead of faxing or scanning and e-mailing the documents can get their entire registration done in less than 10 minutes. Also our customers save time in not having to scan all the documents or data enter information into their systems. Most report overall time to register a carrier dropping from over 90 minutes per carrier to about 10 minutes per carrier.
- Provides unlimited carrier searches within the RMIS database of over 100,000 certificates of insurance and DOT database of over 500,000 carriers.
- Includes detailed Certificate of Insurance information direct from the insurance producer, Authority Status, Safety Ratings, and CSA Scores.
- All information (data and images) is obtainable via the website or by integration with your existing in-house software system.
- Once registered, each carrier’s Certificate of Insurance, authority, and safety information is monitored daily.
- A domain name of your choice is selected to house the registration site. (example www.clientnamecarriers.com)
- Web site is co-branded with your company logos and color schemes.
Companies already using CRS include: Sammons Trucking, FTL Logistics/Fikes Truck Line, JH Rose Logistics, Tennessee Steel Haulers and Maverick Logistics/MaverickTransportation.

Internet Truckstop launches ITEX the only load board with instant texting feature.
NEW PLYMOUTH, Idaho- Internet Truckstop, the largest Internet-based load board in the transportation industry, today launched ITEX (Instant Messaging), adding to the list of decision support offerings for its members.
Internet Truckstop is making it easier for customers to manage available freight and trucks by literally conducting business at their fingertips with the launch of Internet Truckstop’s ITEX Instant Messaging service. A load board industry first, Internet Truckstop allows members instant access to business opportunities using a simple text message on the Internet Truckstop website.
“We developed ITEX using feedback we heard from our members who want to communicate faster, book freight faster and find available trucks more effectively. ITEX adds a convenience and immediacy of sending and receiving text messages directly to individuals using the Internet Truckstop system allowing them to negotiate without ever picking up a phone,” said Leigh Foxall, Director of Freight Matching.
ITEX is now available at no additional charge to Internet Truckstop members. Once logged in to truckstop.com with their unique handle/name, users can begin sending messages to other on-line users to discuss availability of trucks and freight. The unique handle/name allows the conversation directly between two users and the electronic nature of the system allows a single user to have multiple conversations at one time—-far easier than juggling several phone calls at once.
ITEX is the latest in a growing list of innovations and decision support tools that Internet Truckstop is making available to members on the new ITS2 website. ITEX is just another example of Internet Truckstops commitments to improving the ITS2 website and providing decision support tools that are not found on other load boards in the transportation industry.
