Open-deck transportation marketplace EXO Freight closed its physical office in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and laid off most of its employees to focus on improving its technology for enterprise shippers and their managed services.
“The time is right for a seismic shift online in the world of open deck shipping. Thanks to its shipper TMS solution, internal TMS and carrier management portal, we feel EXO Freight is poised to fundamentally improve the economics and quality of life for open deck carriers and their drivers,” said Dan Ahrens, managing partner at Left Lane Capital.
FreightWaves’Mary O’Connelland Kurtis Tryber from EXO Freight sit down to talk about all things flatbed: booking loads, how to get information you need to get started in flatbed and some of the craziest flatbed moves.
Flatbed’s much-needed technology face-lift, Chatbots and email bots as customer service tools, and harvest season wrap-ups.
The co-founder said many of his current investors called Uber and other marketplaces to discuss their flatbed capabilities but were told that “they did not intend to make that a core focus.”
