“We’re delighted to see the boost in European carriers who have qualified for the PCL”
“We’re delighted to see the boost in European carriers who have qualified for the PCL,” says Jason Eversole, Vice President of Carrier Operations at FourKites. “More and more European carriers see supply chain visibility as an opportunity to grow their client’s businesses as well as their own.”
To qualify for the PCL, carriers must demonstrate an ability to provide high-quality, consistent and accurate data on the vast majority of their loads. This enables their shipper customers and other ecosystem partners to streamline operations, increase the speed of shipping dock turn times, reduce inventory levels and optimise labor costs.
