What Carriers Like About Matchmaker

CONVENIENCE  - Many carriers turn to Matchmaker Transportation as an extension of their sales department. Smaller to medium sized carriers usually don't have the resources to provide themselves with a sales staff outside their home terminal, so they look to us as a source for return loads. In one phone call they have access to loads all over the USA , Canada , and Mexico . This reduces the need for them to call many different shippers to find the best load for their truck in a minimal amount of time. It also provides them with a back-up in the event that a load of theirs cancels.

SERVICE  - Looking for freight with Matchmaker Transportation is effortless. This is because we do all the work. Carriers' truck locations are entered into the computer and can be automatically matched up with available loads. This allows our Carrier Salespeople to offer their accounts a wide variety of freight. Care is taken that each load is ready and scheduled prior to drivers calling in for dispatch on our 800 number. Drivers are given priority status at check-in and dispatchers are trained to look for discrepancies. Equipment type and size are verified to prevent loading problems. Warehouse information is relayed to the driver as well as P.O. numbers, directions and special loading instructions. All the driver has to do is pick up the freight. For a busy dispatcher this can be a big relief.

QUANTITY - Matchmaker Transportation is growing rapidly. Because of our vast network of shippers, a carrier has access to many loads per day all over the country. (Many smaller brokers only have freight available to and from the city in which they are based.) In one phone call a carrier could conceivably have freight for all his trucks.

QUALITY  - To provide the best loads to our customers, our salespeople concentrate on finding good, high-paying freight. The majority of our loads are one pickup one drop. This makes the loads more desirable to the carrier.

FINANCIAL STABILITY  - Matchmaker Transportation is financially stable thus offering impressive cash flow possibilities, including Quick Pay. Carriers checks are mailed within 21 days of providing the appropriate paperwork with the standard payment program.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES  - Sometimes a carrier's shippers don't ship all year round. Sometimes a carrier will have a truck in an area where they have very few contacts. Usually this is because the area is a poor source of freight in general or because the carrier is new to the area and hasn't developed any customers. In either situation, a carrier will turn to Matchmaker.
