123LoadBoard's load planner123Loadboard.com launched a load planning function that takes into consideration driving time, deadhead mileage, fuel and toll costs toward a goal of stringing together hauls for maximum profitability. The “Load Planner” reduces the time required to locate a sequence of the highest potential paying loads to plan a trip without having to perform countless load searches.

“The Load Planner automatically sorts trips based on profitability,” said A.J. Sansoye, company operations director. “This ensures that you will always work with the most profitable loads. Should you remove a load from a trip, our system will automatically search for the next highest paying load to complete your trip.”  The Load Planner doesn’t “limit the amount of loads per trip,” he added.

If finalized, this proposal would remove all greenhouse gas standards for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and heavy-duty engines, starting with EPA’s first greenhouse gas regulations set in 2010 for light-duty vehicles and those set in 2011 for medium-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles and engines – which includes off-cycle credits like the much hated start-stop feature on most new cars.
