TruckSmarter

Apr 8, 2024

Winter 2024 Mile Markers

As we wrap up the first quarter of the year, we’re rounding up all the new features and services we launched to help you simplify your day-to-day operations.

We’re all moving so fast–don’t miss out on new tools to build, manage, and grow your trucking business.


🗺️ Book by city, state, or zone!

We’re excited to bring you a more powerful way to search for loads! You can now search on the load board by city, state, or zone. Each zone includes multiple states, so you get more flexibility and information with every search. 


📩 Share loads from your desktop

Find a load that is just perfect for another driver? Share it right from the desktop load board. Watch the short clip below to quickly see how to save and share loads.


🔎 Sort by Recommended Loads

We’re excited to introduce Recommended Loads! These are loads that allow you to bid and book right from the app, in the push of a button. No need to call or email the broker.

Now, you can quickly sort by Recommended Loads. This will filter loads with in-app bidding and booking to the top so you can find and book the best loads even faster.


🔄 Better backhauls

Get ready to minimize deadhead and maximize your earnings with new improved backhauls in the app. Improvements include:

✅ Recommended backhauls to other locations, not just your original location

✅ Better and more real-time data!

✅ More accurate recommendations (no more tight or impossible turnaround times)


🔥 EXO in-app bidding

By popular demand: Take action on an EXO load even faster with in-app bidding!


⚡ Instant transfers

Sometimes you need to move money fast. Well, drivers who factor with us now have the option to instantly transfer money from their TruckSmarter Checking Account for a 1.5% fee. Learn more


😎 Faster, smoother factoring buyouts

If you’re in a factoring contract and want to know how to switch to TruckSmarter Factoring, we’ve made it easier in the app. Provide info about your current contract, and we’ll reach out to offer guidance on how to resolve it, work through the fine print, and even begin the process of ending your contract!


📍 New truck stop partners on the map

→ 24/7 Travel Stores
→ Sapp Bros
→ Kwik Trip


⛽ Book DEF & Reefer fuel

Looking for DEF or Reefer on the road? You’re in luck! You can now find discount pricing for each at select truck stops. Right now, the selection is limited, but we will be rolling out more and more.


🚿 Truck stop amenities

They got a refresh! Now it’s easier to view truck stop amenities, so you can find stops with showers, overnight parking, DEF, Reefer, and more.


🚀 Faster fuel discount searching

We’ve been hard at work cleaning and speeding up our fuel map so you can locate and reserve fuel discounts even faster. Now you can refine your view to only see stops within a select radius so you can find and reserve a discount faster.


✨ Easily compare your options
