MIAMI — Quickload, an online logistics platform designed to connect shippers with trucking companies, has announced the launch of container services. The fast-growing software company’s focus is to simplify the way shippers and trucking companies connect. In addition, it is the first logistics startup in Florida offering full-trucking services, giving more drivers the opportunity to maximize their truck’s capacity and making shipping more efficient.
In addition to flatbeds, dry van and reefer, this new feature makes Quickload a full-freight service offering a complete solution and one-stop shop for shipping companies. The service will utilize the company’s very own process called QuickQuote which allows customers to obtain a quote for their shipment within seconds, giving shippers more flexibility when selecting the number, size and type of containers needed to complete a delivery. It will enable shippers to locate carriers with the necessary permits and equipment to pick up or drop off containers at Port of Miami and Port Everglades.
“We are thrilled to be the first in Florida to bring a container solution to customers,” said Ozan Baran, CEO and founder of the local start-up. “Transportation is a multi-billion-dollar industry, but the process in moving freight is inefficient and antiquated. Even though Quickload is still in the early stages of growth, we are making significant progress . This is confirmed by how pleased our customers are with the product and how often they’re using it.”
The company, which launched in December 2015, has grown to a team of 13 and has signed up more than 500 trucks. It has already completed more than 300 shipments in Florida and recently started some out-of-state shipments. In addition to being the first logistics startup in Florida to offer full-trucking services, Quickload’s technology is all done in-house.
“Quickload’s goal is to be the platform of choice for shippers as well as the on-demand freight service used by 100% of U.S trucking companies. Our aim is to empower truck drivers and trucking companies to be able to expand their business,” said Hiram Vazquez, the company’s COO.
