The rate looked fine. Then you did the math.

01 · Why TrueLane

The broker quotes one number. Your floor is another. TrueLane counts what the rate leaves out.

04 · Who
Chris McDaniel, founder of TrueLane

Christopher McDaniel

Founder, TrueLane

“I’ve spent a decade in transportation — managing some of the largest accounts at Fortune 500 companies, on both the brokerage and carrier side. I’ve done the negotiating, run the dispatch, and owned the accounts on both ends of the load.

“Along the way I’ve seen real data buried, lost in translation, or overlooked — costing companies hundreds of thousands to millions. TrueLane reads between the lines and produces a clear picture of where your money is going and where the operation can improve.”

Real data. Real solutions. Real deal.

Same person, three things: the app for owner-operators, the desk for your whole fleet, and freight analytics for carriers. See the desk →  ·  See the Leak Read →
