SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Private Fleet Net Zero (PFNZ) is being certified as a McLeod Software partner.
“Our goal is to help fleets capture more value from the miles they already run and help brokers deliver stronger margins and more reliable service by connecting them to capacity that’s already moving,” said Russell Jones, CEO, PFNZ.
This partnership provides practical access to 40,000+ lanes of unused private and dedicated fleet backhaul capacity for any
truckload buyer, offering McLeod customers a secure, workflow-friendly way to evaluate matched backhaul opportunities through PFNZ’s exchange.
Private and dedicated fleets operate some of the most dependable networks in the country, yet most of their backhauls still return empty. PFNZ’s exchange unlocks this underutilized capacity and connects it with truckload buyers who value reliability, service quality and a discount to market rates. The certified partnership complements existing McLeod workflows enabling truckload buyers to participate in the PFNZ exchange without altering routing, dispatch or operational workflows.
