Third Coast Logistics integrates Highway’s solution with their Turvo-powered platform to offer a more secure and efficient carrier network.
DALLAS – July 28, 2023 — Third Coast Logistics, a rapidly growing broker investing in technology and automation to drive efficiency, today announces a significant partnership with Highway, a leading provider of carrier identity management technology. This collaboration aims to enhance transparency and streamline carrier onboarding and monitoring procedures.
Third Coast Logistics utilizes Turvo's state-of-the-art TMS, which allows for easy collaboration with employees, customers, and carriers across the supply chain. With the integration of Highway, Third Coast Logistics can automate carrier identity management and compliance, thereby reducing risk and boosting operational efficiency.
"We're thrilled to welcome Highway into our expanding tech stack, adding another layer of automation for managing carrier relationships and compliance," Third Coast Logistics CEO Rob Skelton said. "This integration will enable our clients to leverage powerful features that mitigate fraud, digitize bookings, and establish a more reliable carrier network."
Third Coast has a unique business that specializes in white glove delivery for the bulky final mile space. Targeting the right carriers with the appropriate operating footprint and equipment is paramount to scaling its service offering.
In the logistics industry, brokers sourcing capacity with new carriers can face significant risks. Without a well-founded relationship, they may run into issues concerning service quality, punctuality, or even fraud and double brokering — problems with potentially severe financial repercussions.
"Highway is the only Carrier Identity Engine in the sector, effectively eliminating risk and friction for brokers and carriers. Our engine establishes carrier identity, addresses fraud and double brokering, and provides brokers with comprehensive data on carrier equipment. This allows brokers to source and vet capacity with unparalleled efficiency," said Michael Caney, Chief Commercial Officer, Highway.
Highway aids in automating carrier compliance with a framework tailored for risk management. It provides enhanced access to both public and private data on all carriers. This integration results in increased equipment visibility and improved carrier utilization, giving freight brokers and Third Coast Logistics a competitive edge.
With Highway and Third Coast Logistics, customers acquire robust capabilities to diminish risk, automate, and streamline carrier management processes. The integration boosts collaboration and empowers Third Coast Logistics' users to quickly scale and stimulate growth.
