What a week for our webinar! Join Chris Pickett (former Coyote CSO, current Flock Freight COO and founder of Pickett Research, LLC) and GoodShip's own Nick Boston on Wednesday 6/26 at 1pm CT for a TL market update. I've heard opinions ranging from "market cycles are dead" to "extreme volatility on the horizon" so I'm personally intrigued by this one. Link in comments to register.
At SMC3 Connections, don't miss the opportunity to join TODD LAFOND, our VP of Strategic Partnerships, for a critical discussion on pioneering solutions to America's underutilized truckload problem.
🚛 Did you know that in 2023, 43% of truckloads moved less than half full? That's the equivalent of 1 in 4 truckloads moving completely empty, leading to wasted transportation spend and emissions. 🌿 Flock Freight's innovative Shared Truckload service, FlockDirect®, maximizes trailer utilization by pooling shipments in real-time, slashing carbon emissions by up to 40%. 💸 Plus, with the average enterprise shipper facing up to $6.3 million in LTL damage and loss claims annually, it's time to rethink how we ship. Our FlockDirect® solution reduces the risk of damage, delays, and theft, offering a more efficient way to move freight. 🔍 Dive into the full report for a comprehensive look at the challenges and strategies reshaping the freight industry: https://lnkd.in/dCphmcHf
🚚 2023 data shows LTL shipping's hidden costs: a 1.94% damage rate and up to $6.3M in damage claims for enterprise shippers. Accessorial fees, like reweigh, reclass, and overlength fees, added up to $2.3M for these companies. Our FlockDirect® solution cuts damage risk by 7.5x and avoids surprise accessorial fees.

Our patented technology finds and fills the empty spaces in trucks, working to solve America's partially empty truckload problem. The average trailer utilization for truckloads in the U.S. is a mere 45%. When Flock pools shipments together using our technology, we increase trailer utilization dramatically. In this recent article by FreightWaves, we dive into a Flock pool that increases trailer utilization to almost 2x the industry average using our Shared Truckload technology.

We are proud to partner with Waiākea, who continues to reach emissions, service, and cost savings milestones by shipping Shared Truckload via FlockDirect®. Read our guest blog on their website to learn more about the synergy in our partnership! https://bit.ly/3ywsbka
Working with partners who align with our commitment to sustainability is core to who we are at Waiākea Hawaiian Volcanic Beverages. ♻️ Flock Freight has been a key partner in recent years and in 2023 alone, Waiākea saved 595 metric tons of emissions by shipping with FlockDirectⓇ.💦 Find out more about how we ensure carbon-neutral transport with Flock by reading the article below! https://bit.ly/3ywsbka
🔍 In 2023, nearly half of all truckloads (43%) moved partially empty, leaving an average of 29 linear feet of space unused. That's like having 1 in every 4 trucks on the road traveling completely empty. 🚚 This startling inefficiency in the freight industry is more than just a space issue—it's a call to action for new shipping solutions. 📖 Ready to dive deeper? Our full research study unpacks the implications of this waste and explores innovative ways to optimize shipping. 👉 Access the complete research study: https://hubs.ly/Q02w_nYP0
In 2023, with the average less-than-truckload (LTL) cutoff at 10 feet, shippers with larger loads frequently faced a dilemma: opt for the unpredictability of LTL services or resort to shipping with partially filled truckloads to comply with their stringent delivery timelines. We set out to fill the gap between LTL and truckload with our Shared Truckload solution, FlockDirect®. Leveraging machine learning, our patented technology finds and fills trucks’ empty spaces and puts freight on the most efficient routes, creating significant value for shippers, carriers, and the environment.

Historically, the US truckload market has been locked into a binary concept of “full” or “empty” when it comes to trailer capacity. We are challenging both Shippers and Carriers alike to rethink this,” said Chris Pickett, Flock's Chief Operating Officer. ”With 43% of truckloads moving only partially full, there’s a massive opportunity for businesses to maximize trailer utilization and reduce overall transportation spend with our Shared Truckload solution.” 📊 We recently released a study in collaboration with Drive Research that provides a data-driven look into the underutilization of truckload space and its economic impact. 📈 Visit the article below to learn how these findings can inform shipping strategies to drive industry-wide change. https://lnkd.in/ghDN7u5R
