Real Time Freight “steels” its way into a new industry

The Real Time FreightTM solution streamlines communication between large shippers and distributors and their preferred carrier and broker base by building private web-based load boards that share time-sensitive freight information.

[ClickPress, Mon Sep 12 2005] Chicago, IL — A.M. Castle & Co. decided today to go with Real Time Freight’s web-based logistics solution to help the company meet its transportation needs. As a leader in the U.S. steel industry for more than a century and North America’s largest distributor of core specialty metals, Castle established transportation expense management and efficiency as a core business objective for 2005. Castle’s private network will streamline its process of getting freight information out to select carriers and keep satellite offices on the same page, all while reducing the company’s overall transportation costs and phone time.

This is the first load board Real Time Freight has built for a steel-shipping company. "We're extremely excited to expand our services to the steel industry,” says Angie Brown, RTF’s sales administrator. “Castle is a very well respected company and an industry leader.
