ABSTRACT:
A method for collecting and disseminating available load information for the trucking industry utilizes a telephone-accessible controller which enables providers of loads to record into memory voiced messages related to loads currently available for shipment by truck. Each message is stored in memory at an address which represents a telephone area code used in the geographical region where the load will originate. Each message may contain one or more entries, with each entry representing an available load and including at least a provider identification and a load destination. Solicitors contact the controller by telephone, select the area code/memory address for a geographical region where a load is needed, and then listen to a playback of all the recorded entries for available-loads originating from that geographical area code/memory address. Thereafter, the solicitor selects an available-load and contacts the provider of that load by separate telephone call. The provider may then call the controller to erase from the controller's memory the entry describing the available-load.
