TruckSmarter, AscendTMS Integrate To Increase Access To Free Load Posting Directly To Owner Operator

Integration of #1-rated owner operator load board and #1-rated TMS software expands services for brokers and carriers

TruckSmarter, AscendTMS Integrate To Increase Access To Free Load Posting Directly To Owner Operator

TAMPA, FLA. –May 7, 2024 – This week, TruckSmarter, currently the fastest growing load board for brokers and carriers, and AscendTMS, the #1 rated transportation management system (TMS), have announced their official integration.

The integration allows freight brokers using the AscendTMS platform to post quickly and easily to TruckSmarter’s 100% free load board, largely comprised of tens of thousands of dedicated owner operators. Together, the two logistics leaders will give brokers greater access to free load posting services, with increased reach to TruckSmarter’s 120,000 carriers, and the convenience of one-click posting to the top-rated load board for owner operators through the AscendTMS platform.


Paolo Bernasconi, TruckSmarter Co-Founder and CTO, says, “We’re excited to partner with AscendTMS and grateful for their support. Together, we will equip brokers, especially mid- to small-sized brokers, with more and better tools to move freight. The TruckSmarter Load Board is not only free for brokers, but it allows brokers to post unlimited loads, however they choose, including in their TMS. So, we end up aligning with and amplifying their workflow, instead of forcing them to adjust to a new platform.”

Tim Higham, CEO of AscendTMS, said; “Many brokers and shippers prefer working with professional owner operators because the level of service is so high, and the overall driver performance is superior. This integration allows thousands of active AscendTMS brokers and shippers to post their loads directly to these owner operators, and to easily access this high-performing and reliable capacity with one single click.”

TruckSmarter quickly became the top-rated load board for carriers to use because, in addition to being 100% free, the application offers truck drivers and owners a suite of tools to help them build, manage, and grow their business, including fuel discounts, factoring, and banking services.

Bernasconi continues, “Our mission is to empower truck drivers’ lives, and by making it easier for quality brokers to post to our load board, we’re able to offer more and better loads for our carriers. And it’s just the beginning. We look forward to future integrations to come that will provide simpler, more cost-effective solutions for brokers and carriers.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
