Overview
Live Trucks make it easy for carriers to tell Emerge where and when they have available trucks. By sharing your availability, Emerge can match your trucks with loads that fit — faster and more efficiently.
What Are Live Trucks?
Live Trucks are short-term truck postings that carriers send when they have a truck available at a specific origin and (optionally) a destination.
These postings help Emerge identify real-time capacity in the market and connect your trucks to the right loads.
Example Scenario: If your truck will empty in Kansas City tomorrow and can deliver anywhere in Texas, posting it as a Live Truck helps Emerge instantly match you with nearby loads.
