BASF and bulk transportation specialist Trimac, one of the largest tank truck carriers in North America, are investing in freight-matching consortium Bulky in an effort to enhance bulk freight logistics, the companies say.
The consortium, which BASF and Trimac said is the first of its kind, is developing a technology platform designed to align with the specific requirements of the bulk industry. Carriers who join can expect improved fleet utilization and driver retention due to increased visibility and additional loads, and less effort to match their fleet with bulk freight restrictions.
“We are excited about Bulky as a way to greatly enhance the utility of our fleet,” said Matt Faure, CEO of Trimac.
