Monday Newsletter #9

Yo, Welcome to the 9th edition of the LOST FR8 newsletter.

It’s Thanksgiving week! Hope you all have a magnificent week wherever you happen to find yourself. I myself will be enjoying some crescent rolls, which are my favorite Thanksgiving food (lol).

Lets do a little poll:

Anywho, we’ve got a lot of good stuff going on around here. So lets just get right into it. If you have feedback please reply to this email and let me know!

🚨 What does LOST FR8 do?

LOST FR8 enables carriers of all sizes to effectively market their services to their current customers as well as our growing community of brokers and shippers.

Our goal is to make it easy to find quality carriers by giving them tools to market themselves.

🎨 LOST FR8 Design Updates

• We’ve released the first version of our newly redesigned internal account dashboard. Carriers - let us know what you think!

• Goal = give carriers a high level view of their data on one screen

• We have big plans for this view, stay tuned!

• From Daniel: “We are a family owned company, a true trucking family. My brother Emil and I have been in the game since 2005 and are still heavily involved with operations and even dispatching. Our father has been driving since 2000 and still drives for the company, as he is getting older it's mostly regional runs and local deliveries but still heavily involved. Drivers get to talk to owners daily and not a call center or overseas employees. Average time of employment for our drivers is 4 years and we have some that have been with us 10+ years so that just shows you how we treat our drivers and we do everything we can to set them up for success and support them and their families.”

• From Reed: “Daniel was one of the first carriers to sign up for LOST FR8 that I hadn’t ever met before we started the company. It’s been awesome for us to watch him and his team make use of the site and we value the feedback they provide.“
