A recent survey of enterprise shippers conducted by Transport Intelligence and commissioned by project44 found that 54.7% of shippers consider real-time visibility a pre-requisite for carrier selection while 98% said it was an important part of their tendering process.
At project44, we think real-time visibility is essential and we believe the carriers who prioritize visibility should be recognized and applauded for their efforts. That’s why we launched our Preferred Carrier Program in 2020. To qualify for the program, a carrier must haul at least 200 shipments per year with project44 customers and demonstrate a high tracking percentage.
“At project44, carriers are at the core of everything we do. Their trust and partnership have enabled us to build the world’s largest network for global supply chain visibility,” said Michael Miller, EVP of Global Network at project44. “In gratitude to our most committed and high-performing carriers, we want to recognize their great work in our latest Preferred Carrier list. When our shippers seek out carriers, we point them to our Preferred Carriers first. That way, we know they’ll be in great hands.”
In the latest list, we recognized over 2,500 carriers, representing ~2% of project44’s worldwide carrier network. Approximately half operate in North America and the other half in Europe, and they range from individual owner operators to multinational enterprises, proving that increased visibility is possible and beneficial for every type of carrier regardless of size or geography.
The benefits of inclusion in the Preferred Carrier Program include standing out to the more than 1,000 industry-leading shippers, LSPs and freight forwarders that use project44 for supply chain visibility. project44’s Preferred Carriers also demonstrate a faster rate of volume increase than those not in the program. As we continually look for new ways to enhance the program, Preferred Carriers can expect to see increased benefits and value over time.
