Echo Global Logistics, leading provider of technology-enabled transportation management services, announced the launch of EchoDrive web portal and mobile app that displays Echo's available loads for the company's carrier network to bid on. This app is for shippers or truckers or carriers to have the ability to book, manage, and get paid on freight hauled for Echo.
Doug Waggoner, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer at Echo, said in a press release, "Echo was founded on the concept that through our disruptive technology we could simplify transportation and bring efficiencies into the huge and highly fragmented transportation market." The platform's load management tool and document upload capabilities streamline operations, keeping dispatchers organized and helping drivers get back on the road faster. In addition to automating day-to-day shipments, EchoShip offers a host of tools designed just for shippers. For example, EchoShip automatically alerts shippers of potential issues such as excessive weight, expired quotes, or holiday transit delays.
