Strategic Alliances

Caravan Network is forging the path forward with the most advanced collaborative transportation programs, including its large scale multi-shipper consortium for motor freight capacity sharing and load linking. Its high volume shipper communities for enabling the first multi-shipper trading partner networks, are leading the way to the next “quantum jump” in logistics. The President of Shippers Commonwealth is also CEO of Caravan Network LLC, where he and his team have pioneered freight clustering since the early 1990’s. Caravan is now successfully deploying its proprietary network solution with the world class Fortune 500 multi-shipper coalition it has formed. This shipper community is already actively collaborating for lower cost, “connected freight capacity”, via the Caravan optimized freight exchange network.
