CDL1000 Inc., an asset-based third-party logistics provider headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, partnered with us to develop a smart logistics platform designed to optimize backhaul transportation operations. Operating a fleet of nearly 60 trucks across the Midwest region, CDL1000 aimed to address one of the logistics industrys most persistent challenges, empty return miles that result in wasted fuel, time, and operational costs.The platform was built to connect available backhaul truck capacity with shippers freight requirements across the Chicagoland area. By enabling carriers to publish upcoming routes and allowing customers to post shipment loads, the system creates a streamlined marketplace that aligns empty truck lanes with shipping demand. This approach helps carriers generate additional revenue while offering shippers competitive backhaul pricing and a simplified logistics experience.Phase 1 focused on launching the backhaul matching system within the Chicagoland market, establishing a foundation for improved resource utilization and operational efficiency. The solution transforms underutilized transportation capacity into revenue-generating opportunities, strengthening logistics collaboration between carriers and shippers.Looking ahead, the platform is designed for scalability and innovation. Future phases will introduce AI-powered load-to-truck matching capabilities along with real-time vehicle tracking powered by the iScripts Locologic system. This forward-thinking logistics ecosystem supports CDL1000s vision of building a smarter, technology-driven transportation network across multiple U.S. markets.
