Why am I being asked to join project44?
You are being invited to join the project44 network because your customer(s) need real-time visibility of their shipments. Joining the network allows carriers to:
- Provide high-quality service by meeting the visibility standards that customers now expect.
- Access a larger pool of potential business by connecting with project44’s extensive global network.
- Streamline your operations through automation, reducing the need for time-consuming manual check calls and updates.
Is project44 a broker?
No, project44 is not and will never be a broker. We maintain a neutral position in the industry, with our primary objective being to simplify your and your customers’ lives through automated load tracking. Becoming a broker would entail direct competition with our customers, which is not our intention.
Do brokers use project44’s data to manipulate prices?
No, project44 solely provides tracking data during the load’s duration, ensuring that brokers do not have continuous access to capacity information. Our aim is to use this data to reduce the time you spend on the phone with brokers, allowing you to focus on what you do best—moving freight.
