About

At FR8Star, shippers moving difficult to fill flatbed, oversize, and overweight loads connect with flatbed and specialized freight transport companies with access to the capacity they need. Competition among the transport companies is guaranteeing fair rates to shippers – and shippers benefit from transport companies’ relationships with experienced transport companies that focus on moving open deck freight. The pricing is 100% transparent: shippers pay nothing to use FR8Star and transport companies submit their all-in bids. In addition, we provide you with tailored tools for OS/OW and open deck transport to make it as easy as possible to move your freight. With FR8Star tools, shippers can save time by booking freight instantly and limit costs by comparing bids from transport companies and easily manage their flatbed, oversize and overweight transport. Transport companies get access to the unique FR8Star technology that makes all of this possible.

About

Sleek Technologies has optimized the critical freight procurement process for manufacturers, retailers, and distributors resulting in reduced cost, stronger performance, and more data. With Sleek Technologies, machine learning dynamically sources compliant, asset-based capacity to improve key customer metrics such as tender acceptance, OTD, and OTIF to lower cost of goods sold. Configuration tools adjust pricing and automate the bidding process. And the real-time dashboard provides 100% data transparency so customers can make stronger, informed freight procurement decisions. Our FreightTech solution, OTS, has eliminated fuel consumption by dynamically sourcing the right carriers for loads. And when shippers and carriers are connected, at the perfect time, empty miles, along with CO2 emissions, are eliminated making freight transportation more sustainable. But we won't stop there because sustainability remains a key part of our continuous improvement initiative.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing except they said it was free for shippers to post. They offer an app now in the app stores but I highly doubt they've tested it even on an Android phone due to what I've seen so far and not even being able to register it. And also some of the stupid questions they ask when posting a load. Have they even tried to get feedback from pro shippers who post regularly on other websites like 123 load board or truckstop or even uship? Hey maybe that would be a great idea?
  • Eager to get back to you until you agreed to a load. Sands publishing returned an email as they are connected to equipment trader tractor house etc.
  • Fast rates retrieval and user friendly design of the website but this is just visual, in fact read my cons section.

Cons

  • I got an email saying they offered a app now since we are a tractor dealer on Tractor house which is part of their parent company and went to try to register it in the store and after spending 5 minutes filling out the form and a possible load then got a reply there's no internet which is not true I've been using the internet all night. Kept trying kept saying no internet. Was not having any other web surfing issues at all tonight. Has anyone on the software programmers there tried to use and register using a Android phone maybe that would be a great idea? I imagine they have only tested it on Apple or else just it's very poor software and design? So I went to sign in the desktop version and it won't let me register there either. Then it said I'm registered and I tried different passwords none worked and then I requested a new password. However the new password never came to my email here maybe because it's after 5 p.m. I don't know. But after 6 times of asking for a new password and no email seen including in my junk folder I have given up after wasting the last 45 minutes of my life. Terrible.
  • I agreed and put money down on a load as it was winter I gave the shipper 3 months time. Didn't work out hired a trucking company for the same money.Check to be sure you are getting a trucking company and not another broker first.
  • -most of the rates you get there are not final and brokers will most likely overcharge you. -Fr8star will never be on your side, they always support brokers during problems resolution. -Broker may search for the truck power for weeks and you will have zero understanding of when your load is being picked up - Fr8star will ask you to pay the broker fee, even if your load wasn't delivered
