Cargo Chief app to be added to Truckerline platform

Over-the-road domestic brokerage Cargo Chief says it is partnering with Truckerline, a web-based platform and mobile app that allows drivers to build professional profiles to manage their careers and better represent themselves to prospective employers, brokers and shippers.

Cargo Chief notes it uses patented, proprietary aggregation and machine learning technology to find inefficiencies in the transportation process and source thousands of loads from shippers on a daily basis. The Cargo Chief application will be available within the Truckerline platform, providing owner-operators with access to haul loads within the Cargo Chief network, further unlocking nationwide transportation load capacity.

"The partnership of Truckerline and Cargo Chief extends the carrier options for shippers and provides another avenue for small to mid-size carriers to compete for even the biggest of loads on a daily basis," said Cargo Chief CEO Russell Jones in the company statement. "Both companies are great

examples of how the industry is changing for the better now that technology is available for any size carrier to connect, communicate and compete without installing an expensive TMS (Transportation Management Solution)."

Developed by Outset Partners Inc., Truckerline enables drivers to build complete career profiles with essential paperwork, and then provide interested parties one-click access to that information. Truckerline helps drivers to market themselves, easily apply for jobs and stay in touch with other drivers they know and trust.

Cargo Chief’s carrier search uses machine learning optimization technology to give shippers the best capacity options for their loads, instantly. Using drivers’ smart phones, the Cargo Locate® service provides real-time, 24/7 on-map location tracking.

Both the Cargo Chief and Truckerline applications are available for download through the Google Play and Apple app stores for smartphones and tablets.
