CarrierStore on June 26 launched operations of its Web-based market exchange for volume and truckload freight.

CarrierStore, based about 26 miles northwest of Boston in Acton, Mass., brings together B2B shippers and LTL freight carriers for the movement of volume (over 3,500 pounds) and truckload shipments. Through its Web portal, shippers can get freight specific quotes directly from the pricing departments at LTL freight carriers.

"Working in the industry trenches I saw that the process for quoting volume and truckload freight was fundamentally flawed and that both the shippers and carriers were looking for a better solution," said company founder Dan Clark. "The opportunity to match volume freight with a carrier's open capacity provides great benefits to both the shipper and carrier, but a more efficient quoting system is needed. To address this challenge, I recruited industry, technology and marketing experts to develop the xChange. Your people are your greatest asset and I believe CarrierStore's success will be driven by its team."
