DENVER – FreightSmith representatives say their new mobile app will help remove inbound delays and provide improved flow at warehouses across the country by allowing truck drivers to pre-check into slots.
According to a news release, drivers can “check-in for their appointment at a convenient location eliminating the bottleneck at distribution centers and negatively impacting nearby local businesses and overall traffic flow.”
“We are piloting the pre-check function in Southern California and remain very optimistic about the efficiency gains it will create for drivers and receivers,” Tim Wells, FreightSmith senior director of strategy, said. “I believe this solution will truly create a shipper-friendly experience which is long overdue.”
The FreightSmith mobile application is available for download at the Apple App Store and Google Play.
