Grace Sharkey sat down with LoadSmart’s vice president of digital sales, Casey Monahan, during the FreightWaves 3PL Summit on Wednesday to discuss the importance of leveraging technology for fleet growth and what smaller fleets require in today’s advancing tech landscape. Monahan emphasized the significance of small carriers to LoadSmart, calling them the lifeblood of the company and highlighting their need for both a brokerage and technology partner.
During their fireside chat, Monahan acknowledged that load matching is a significant challenge in the industry, with filters being applied to load boards but finding the perfect freight remaining difficult. He expressed LoadSmart’s goal of assisting carriers in expanding their fleets from five trucks to 25 trucks and beyond.
Monahan also discussed LoadSmart’s focus on AI products that simplify data interaction for users. The Copilot product was highlighted as a tool that allows users to ask system questions and retrieve valuable insights easily. LoadSmart is continuously developing new AI products to enhance user experience and provide valuable analytics to carriers.
Overall, the discussion shed light on the technology needs of small fleets and the opportunities that exist for leveraging innovative solutions to drive fleet growth and success in the industry.
