Cargo Auctions is the most Technologically Advanced and Fully Automated “Load-board”, serving the Freight Industry in North America, allowing You (the Shipper), to create Significant Savings (15-30%) for your Company, on your Third party Freight expenses (outside Carriers).
Our Vision: Is more than making a profit; CargoAuctions has Committed 1/3 of its Gross Revenue to be donated to the “Charity of Choice” of each of our members, at no extra cost to them, that is Our Commitment! (Our affiliated Charities – Bottom of our Home Page)
Consider CargoAuctions as your own Loadboard, where you post your “Daily/Weekly Loads” accessible ONLY by You and your Approved Carriers (your existing Carriers).
Posting loads (two main listing formats):
Post a Reverse Auction listing(s)(s), your Carriers receive an Automated “Bid Invitation” e-mail and bid on your load(s) In Reverse, driving your Offered Price Down - You Save money!
Post an R.F.Q. listing(s), they submit they Service Quotes to you - you choose the most appropriate one – and again, You Save money!
Privacy - The identities of the Carriers (bidders) are always hidden from one another (their Privacy is fully protected).
Simplified & Fully Automated - The received Bids/Quotes in both processes are fully Automated and generated online, therefore, the phone & fax communication has been virtually eliminated, while the email interaction with the Carrier(s) has been brought down to less than 1%.
Customizable - You can customize/schedule the “Start” and the “End” date & time of your listing. (Minimum listing running time is 30 minutes and the Maximum is 10 days).
Flexible - Using CargoAuctions Loadboard, most of your Company’s rules and policies that are in place with your existing Carriers, can remain unchanged (Requirements, Trailer pools agreement, Late Fees, Shipping & Receiving Policies, etc).
Commitment Free - The Registration and the Membership with CargoAuctions are free and we do not charge any up-front listing fees. A small listing fee applies ONLY if your listing has generated bids and your offered price has been decreased. Basically, if you have saved money listing your load with us – you pay a listing fee, if not – it is free (no hidden charges whatsoever).
Inevitable Benefits: The savings with CargoAuctions are too Great to ignore (15-30%). We are certain that using our Loadboard, you will Revolutionize your Company’s approach towards its Freight Management and Re-Energize the momentum of your Company’s Growth while creating Savings.
