Online Freight Exchange

What is an Online Freight Exchange?

An online freight exchange, also known as freight exchange, is an online service that connects the haulage, logistics and freight forwarding companies on the web. Basically, it allows the companies to go through a database for available freight and market their available vehicle capacity.

These type of systems provide a platform for carriers to communicate cargo traffic information to companies. Generally, the online freight exchange service is subscription-based. More information is available here.
