Show Notes
In this episode with Vetra Technologies' co-founders, Kylie Perales and Richard Shure, you'll learn how empty miles kill your margins and how much revenue you leave on the table by chasing the wrong loads!
Kylie and Richard tackles one of the biggest inefficiencies in trucking, deadhead miles, by using AI-driven route optimization and multi-leg load planning to help carriers cut 30-40% of empty truck miles and boost profitability, how Vetra aggregates loads from multiple load boards, ranks the best options based on truck specs and carrier preferences, and explains those choices so dispatchers and owner-operators can make faster, smarter decisions without replacing human negotiation.
We also cover how reducing load search time from minutes to seconds directly increases top-line revenue, why personalized load recommendations matter in a low-margin freight market, and what's coming next, including real-time load notifications and broker management tools designed to keep trucks moving and revenue consistent!
