Top 10: Europe’s most popular freight exchange platforms
Freight exchange platforms have changed the face of transport, freight forwarding and the logistics sector in recent years. As a result, many companies are updating their business models to make them their primary source for obtaining orders. These freight exchanges continue to grow with users able to connect cargo to transport across Europe and freight brokers able to monitor their fleet to ensure they are achieving maximum capacity (or, at least, making sure their trailers are not returning home empty).
