Watch the episode below:
K-Ratio was named to the 2020 FreightWaves FreightTech 100 for its innovation and disruption in the freight industry. Additionally, K-Ratio was voted “Best In Show” for demonstrating its proprietary “card” service at FreightWaves LIVE: Chicago. The “card” is a visual representation of data extracted from a company’s transportation management software with the goal of showcasing data above biased storytelling and gut instincts.
Among the topics they talk about are how do high-volume markets affect surrounding and cross-country markets? They also discuss the relevance of the latest economic data and what it tells us. The guys also discuss using SONAR’s outbound tender volume index (OTVI) by market and length of haul to determine effects on surrounding markets. Utilizing SONAR’s lane volumes, length of haul and Heat Maps, users can determine how one market’s conditions and trends can affect your base or home market if you are a shipper or carrier even if it is across the country.
