Truckload freight-matching program: Kuebix, creator of a transportation man-
agement system, has introduced FleetMax, a program designed to fill the empty
backhauls of private fleets and offer truckload capacity to the marketplace. Fleet
owners can eliminate empty miles and generate additional profit by making back-
haul fleet capacity available to Kuebix’s vast community of shippers and brokers.
With FleetMax, Kuebix’s technology digitally matches fleet capacity with freight
to obtain consistent and repetitive external backhauls to offset empty miles, add
revenue to fleet operations, and provide shippers/brokers with a new source of
trusted capacity. (Kuebix, www.kuebix.com)
