Objective

  • Lane Repository where our dedicated and/or repeated lanes are stored and managed

What are the sources of Lane Bank?

There are two ways for lanes to be saved and being generated into the lane bank

  1. Manual Creation: There are three areas where you can create dedicated lanes into the lane bank manually.

    1. Dynamic Smart Rate

    2. Lane Bank - Create Lane Button

    3. Carrier Search

  2. Automatic: By running a query on our historic load lane data, when we find loads that are going from a similar location to a similar location more than twice a week, we group them together and push them to a lane bank as one Dedicated Lane. Rules are:

    1. Run a query by pick-up location. For example, we run a query on every load that picked a shipment up in the Los Angeles area (100 miles radius).

    2. Run another query on the destination area. For example, run a query on every load that picked and hauled from Los Angeles (100 miles radius) to Dallas, TX (100 miles radius)

    3. We categorize it by customer

    4. From the loads we’ve trimmed by customers, we look at their frequency on how often do customers send shipments per week

    5. Companies and the loads that are going from LA to Dallas more than twice a week, we compile them and make it into one dedicated lane as push it out to Lane Bank

What happens to the lanes that are saved in the Lane Bank?

  • Lanes will automatically be posted out to the marketplace with the Lane Quote #

    • Lane Quote will be discussed later

  • Lanes will be visible to the lane seekers

    • For example, if ABC trucking has saved the lane “LA to Dallas”, this carrier will see all the lane offers coming from the lane bank

  • Please reference the diagram above
