Carrier Performance Information

MacroPoint Capacity also provides additional information including the average rate per mile you’ve paid a carrier, plus how often a carrier has picked up and delivered from the origin and destination or run the reverse lane.

Knowing the historical lane performance of carriers enables you to select the right carrier for each load. A better match results in better performance, increased predictability, stronger carrier relationships and improved margins.
