USAT Capacity Solutions Selects FourKites® As Exclusive Freight Visibility Partner


CHICAGO and VAN BUREN, Ark., Feb. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- USAT Capacity Solutions (Nasdaq: USAK), a leading capacity solutions provider headquartered in Van Buren, Arkansas, and FourKites®, the pioneer in predictive supply chain visibility, today announced that USAT has selected FourKites as its exclusive real-time freight visibility partner.

“Our goal as a company is to drive growth through excellent customer experiences. FourKites has helped in that effort by giving us access to the industry’s richest set of supply chain data across all of our service offerings,” said George Henry, SVP of Logistics, USAT Capacity Solutions. “Using the FourKites Visibility Cloud, FourKites’ Partner Hub and Lane Connect, we can now run a smarter and more efficient operation, while simultaneously improving service levels for our shipping customers.
