Feature Overview
We’ve introduced a new “Find Nearby Loads” feature in Parade that allows you to refine load searches based on geographic proximity rather than just by state. This enhancement helps you locate loads closer to specific locations, increasing the relevance and efficiency of your search results.
Instead of relying solely on broad state-level searches, you can now zero in on loads near your desired pickup and drop-off points. The feature uses intuitive distance sliders to set search radii, so you get more precise results and spend less time sifting through distant or irrelevant loads.
How It Works
You can set a specific distance range for a load’s origin and destination using easy-to-use sliders:
First, enter the origin and destination locations.
Then select your desired search radius for both the origin and the destination, using the sliders.
Key Benefits
Enhanced Efficiency: Proximity-based filtering saves time by displaying only relevant loads, streamlining the search process.
Improved Accuracy: More accurate load recommendations by focusing on nearby options, ensuring a higher likelihood of successful matches.
Increased Carrier Satisfaction: Quick and appropriate load matches lead to higher carrier profitability and satisfaction.
Better Utilization of Resources: Optimizes the use of trucks and drivers by concentrating on local loads, maximizing operational efficiency.
By offering location-specific searches, the "Find Nearby Loads" feature eliminates the frustration of broad state-level filtering. Carrier sales reps can now focus on more suitable loads, reducing time wasted on distant and irrelevant options. This update significantly enhances your workflow by improving the precision and relevance of load recommendations.
