Reload Opportunities and Transport credit

Share minimal container data to coordinate reloads near load/unload sites. Reduce empty repositioning, save fuel and time, and unlock cost-sharing with other shippers — without exposing sensitive information.

Bridging the Visibility Gap in Trucking

While vessel and terminal tracking provide valuable insights, the road segment often remains a blind spot. FollowTheBox integrates directly with transporters' systems, offering real-time data on truck arrivals and departures. This ensures complete transparency from port to final destination, allowing you to proactively manage schedules and address potential delays before they escalate.
