Introducing the ATG Public Loadboard!
Freight/Shipping Trends | Logistics | Agent Program | loadboard | carriers | trucking
ATG is launching a new public loadboard for agents and carriers in the Armstrong network. Post your loads and Armstrong will direct approved carriers in the network to the loadboard to bid on your freight! Only approved Armstrong carriers in good standing will have access to the loadboard. Carriers looking to join the Armstrong network can become an approved carrier
How Does It Work?
After logging in, carriers will be able to peruse available posted loads. When a carrier is interested in a particular load, they can choose to contact the agent that posted the load with an inquiry. Each office can choose to be alerted via email, text or system notification to follow up with that carrier.
Posting to the Loadboard
Loads can be posted to the Armstrong load board in 3 ways:
1) A shell load, similar to how you would post on DAT or Truckstop. At the top right of the posting screen, you will see all of the available boards you can post to, with a new one being available: “ATG”.
2) Quick-post existing loads directly from the loadboard. You must request to have this feature enabled for your account.
3) Post directly from inside any unassigned load.
To take advantage of this new feature, please contact the Development team at system@armstrongtransport.com. When you sign up, please let us know how your office would like to receive notifications:
- Text Message
- System Notification
At this time we only have the capability to notify you in one way. As we continue to add features to the loadboard we will offer multiple ways to be notified of carrier interested in your loads.
The more offices participating in the loadboard, the more successful it will be. Please notify corporate of any questions or concerns as you begin using the load board. If you are interested in learning more about Armstrong or would like to share comments please fill out the comment form below.
