How to compare partner rates and find new carriers with Roolz❔ 🔒Private exchange with access to the public market! Now you can collect bids not only from your partners on the private exchange, but also from participants of the public exchange. Bids are collected in two offers, i.e. partners and participants of the public exchange do not cross each other. This allows you to compare bids and understand how much the offers from your partners comply with the current market prices. Thanks to this option, you can be sure that the bids of your partners are really competitive, and if new interesting offers appear on the market, they are immediately visible and available for comparison. Thus, you are always aware of the situation and get the best conditions for your business. 🤝Selection of new partners through the public exchange. This functionality allows customers to not just compare bids, but also select potential affiliates to add to their private exchange for confidential work. Users can easily find selections on the public exchange — they are marked as “Partner Selections” among all freight offers. The process is simple: publicly bidding carriers place their bids. If they win, the customer can consider them for further cooperation and add them to their circle of private partners. This gives shippers the opportunity to expand the pool of carriers and find new promising companies for long-term cooperation. When a carrier or freight forwarder opens an offer like “Partner Selection”, they will have a window with access to competitors' prices. Many shippers are still afraid of the risks of working on public exchanges because of unverified carriers. However, our new functionality allows to use both approaches at the same time - to work with trusted partners and to be aware of the best market offers. This hybrid approach from the Roolz freight exchange allows your business to remain flexible, cost-effective and open to new opportunities. Use the new functionality of the Roolz platform today — do not put off improving your efficiency until tomorrow! Roolz.net

Meet the new features that will make the logisticians' work even easier and more efficient! 🎉 We've added several useful tools to manage offers faster, communicate with partners better and optimize transport search. When you have a large number of transportations, many representatives and offices, a flexible and functional filter is MASTHEV, and we already have it 😉. Quickly filter offers by your criteria: responsible manager, destination, body type and many other parameters. This is especially useful when creating uploads, for example, to Excel for further analysis and reporting. In some cases Excel is really irreplaceable. You've been asking for a long time and we've done it! A tool for exporting offers into formats suitable for everyone: Excel, CSV and JSON is now available. The tool was created specifically for the convenience of your analysis and collection of information about bidders. Earlier we introduced email notifications 🔎 on our public exchange, and now we have added this function for private offers as well. When you send an offer to your partners, they will automatically receive a notification to their email. This guarantees that your offers will not be missed and affiliates will be able to respond to them quickly. We continue to work on improving the geo search. Now the address search has been improved. Finding the right point, shipping or delivery address is now even more accurate and faster. The search is powered by an enhanced geolocation database, so you can find the right points on the map faster and minimize route selection errors. Upgrade your processes with Roolz and make logistics even faster, easier and more efficient! ☺️ Roolz.net

Convenient, isn't it? Moreover, with this update published user offers will also be displayed in the company profile. This will also allow you to quickly find the right partners and contacts for communication and cooperation. Roolz also implemented an email notification system that will allow users to promptly receive information about new offers, profile updates and other important events.

In 2020, about one fifth of total road freight transport in the EU will be carried by empty vehicles. The share is slightly higher for national traffic (24%) than for general traffic (20%) and significantly higher compared to international traffic (13%). Convoy company conducted a survey in which 69% of respondents said that reducing empty mileage is very important to their business. And it's no wonder, as you're either working or wasting time and resources. Convoy boasted that it had managed to reduce empty mileage from an industry standard 35% to 19% using automated reboot. So 20% of the EU average looks pretty good. Moreover, the 1/5 indicator in the EU has been relatively stable over the last decade. 20% is the EU average, but there are some regional differences. In the 17 EU member countries, the share of empty vehicle mileage ranged from 15% to 30%. The share in Cyprus was much higher at 40.4%, which probably indicates that most of the road freight traffic is either goods imported through ports or construction traffic, both of which involve empty trips in one of the two directions. Empty road freight rates in Greece (35.8%), Ireland (35.6%) and Austria (34.2%) are also well above the EU average. At the other extreme are Denmark with 8.7% of empty vehicle kilometers traveled and Belgium with 10.9%. Although the 20% average has held steady over the last decade, this does not mean that it cannot be reduced! BTW, what are your expectations regarding adequate empty mileage? Are your company's indicators above or below the European average?

Cargo crime is indeed a significant issue according to the TAPA (a unique international association for improving supply chain security). It has a substantial impact on supply chains, causing financial losses and disrupting operations. Here are some key points: Extent of the Problem: In EU a total of 8389 incidendas registered in 2023. Not everyone provides an estimate of the cost of losses — the amount of losses is indicated in only 37.9% of cases. But even according to this data, the amount of losses has been estimated to the EU in 550 million euros. How much do you think you can add to this amount to make it real? We consider the amount of losses could potentially be 2.5 times higher! Impact on Logistics: Cargo thefts can cause major disruptions in the supply chain. For example, one stolen truckload of parts or components can impact the production of thousands of customer orders. Cargo thefts can lead to increased costs as supply needs to be replenished, investigations need to take place, insurance claims need to be processed, customers need to be communicated with, and reputations need to be protected. Delays at ports and border crossings have led to cargo being left at unsecured parking lots and container yards near port facilities, leaving that cargo more vulnerable to tampering by thieves. Cargo crime is a critical issue that causes significant damage to companies and disrupts well-functioning logistics processes. Efforts are underway to soften the consequences of these crimes and reduce their impact on supply chains. However, the problem remains a major challenge for the industry.

In the world of trucking, every kilometer has a price and can have an impact on the economy and efficiency of the industry. Let's take a look at the figures and facts about empty kilometers nationally and internationally. The share of empty vehicle transportation is slightly higher for national transportation (24%) than for general transportation (20%) and significantly higher compared to international transportation (13%). In almost all EU countries, the share of empty kilometers in national transportation was higher than for international trips. It is also interesting to note that in several countries the share of empty mileage in international transportation exceeded 20%: in Austria - 23.5%, Luxembourg - 22.7%, the Netherlands - 22.4%, France - 21.5% and Ireland - 20.5%. This is significantly higher than the EU average of 13%! We estimated the average empty mileage distance in 2022 based on EU statistics (total kilometers per number of trips with and without cargo) and found out that the average empty trip length was 56 km (48 nationally or 196 internationally). In comparison, the average distance of a loaded trip was 131 km (93 and 592 km respectively). Another thing to mention is that empty kilometers are much more common in national shipments: there are 1.6 loaded trips for every 1 empty trip, and 2.3 for international trips! The ability to receive cargo for return trips in international transportation is certainly of great economic importance. But unfortunately, still a huge number of vehicles travel long distances without passengers or cargo. This leads to excessive fuel use, pollution and unnecessary wear and tear on the roads. Therefore, it is always necessary to aim to optimize routes and reduce empty kilometers in order to reduce negative environmental impacts and save resources. Roolz.net

The U.S. trucking market is one of the most fragmented and competitive markets. The industry is characterized by a significant variety of companies offering different types of trucking services, ranging from local carriers to large logistics companies with a national reach. Here is some key data from the American Trucking Association and other sources: Market fragmentation: There are more than 2 million trucking companies in the U.S.; 95% of trucking companies operate 10 trucks and less; Just 0.3% manage a fleet of more than 100 vehicles; Major players: UPS Inc. is the largest company in North America with revenue of $100.3 billion and operates a fleet of over 35,000 trucks; FedEx Corp. follows UPS with revenue of $92.61 billion and operates a fleet of approximately 82,000 units; J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. is one of the largest logistics companies in the world. Fragmentation causes: The low barrier to entry makes it easy to start a business in this industry; The majority of trucking companies in the U.S. are small companies; Trucking remains the most common path to business ownership. The market fragmentation is due to the factors such as differences in pricing policy, technological equipment, fleet size, regional supply and demand patterns. As a result, despite the presence of major players, most of the U.S. trucking market still consists of smaller companies, which creates a unique dynamic and structure in the industry.
