Modern Marketplace Connecting Brokers and Carriers More Efficiently

CRM·Logistics

Overview

PTL Exchange is a digital logistics platform designed to solve a major inefficiency in the trucking market: the inability for brokers and carriers to efficiently find and fill Partial Truck Load (PTL) shipments. Recognizing a significant gap in the logistics landscape—where FTL (Full Truck Load) and LTL (Less Than Truck Load) platforms are common but PTL remains underserved—PTL Exchange was created to simplify matchmaking, increase revenue, and reduce empty miles.

Problem

Despite the growth of on-demand logistics platforms, the partial truckload segment remains highly fragmented and manually managed.
Key issues identified:

Brokers struggled to find carriers willing to take partial loads efficiently.
Carriers often drove with unused truck space, losing potential revenue.
Lack of a centralized PTL marketplace meant deals were handled through calls, emails, and outdated load boards.
No real-time visibility or smart matching options for PTL shipments. The result? Wasted capacity, reduced profit margins, and slower fulfillment times.

Solution: PTL Exchange

PTL Exchange bridges the gap by creating a dedicated PTL marketplace where brokers and carriers can connect seamlessly. The platform replaces outdated communication methods with an intuitive, real-time system that simplifies posting, matching, and securing partial truckload shipments. By centralizing load visibility, carrier availability, negotiation tools, and documentation workflows, PTL Exchange eliminates inefficiencies that previously caused delays, empty miles, and lost revenue. It empowers brokers to move partial loads faster while helping carriers optimize unused space and increase profitability. With integrated tracking, smart recommendations, and a fully digital transaction flow, PTL Exchange delivers a modern, streamlined experience designed specifically for the underserved partial truckload market.
