The total number of loads transported by PCL carriers on the FourKites platform grew over 10% from Q3 to Q4, to almost 4,000,000 across all industries. Nearly 400 carriers made the list in Q4, with particularly strong growth among European carriers, which now comprise nearly 20% of the list.

“We’re delighted to see the boost in European carriers who have qualified for the PCL,” says Jason Eversole, Vice President of Carrier Operations at FourKites. “More and more European carriers see supply chain visibility as an opportunity to grow their client’s businesses as well as their own.”

To qualify for the PCL, carriers must demonstrate an ability to provide high-quality, consistent and accurate data on the vast majority of their loads. This enables their shipper customers and other ecosystem partners to streamline operations, increase the speed of shipping dock turn times, reduce inventory levels and optimise labor costs.

Premier Carriers speak to program benefits:

Van den Bosch is always on the lookout for new opportunities to make its supply chain more efficient and sustainable. Fueled by data, insights and knowledge, innovation and digitalisation are key drivers. The qualification for Premier Carrier is a nice recognition and confirmation of our position as the supply changer in bulk.”

-Marrit Hopmans, Data & Applications Manager, Van den Bosch
