## What is Beacon by FreightDEX?

Tired of deadhead miles and endless load board searches? Beacon by FreightDEX is the official mobile companion for carriers on the freightdex.org marketplace, designed to turn your truck's real-time location into bookable capacity.

Beacon is a simple, powerful tool that works in the background to make your truck visible to shippers when you're in an active lane. No more bidding, no more check calls just activate your beacon and let the loads find you.

HOW IT WORKS:
• GO ONLINE: With a single tap, start sharing your location securely.
• ACTIVATE RATES: When you drive into the radius of a lane you service (e.g., Chicago to San Francisco), your pre-set rate for that lane automatically becomes active and visible to shippers.
• GET BOOKED: Shippers can instantly see and book your available capacity without a single phone call.

KEY FEATURES:
• AUTOMATIC RATE ACTIVATION: Our system intelligently activates and deactivates your standing rates based on your real-time location, ensuring you're only visible when you're actually ready to haul on that lane.
• NO MORE BIDDING OR CHECK CALLS: Set your fair market rate on freightdex.org once. When your beacon is active, that rate is live.
• SECURE & TRANSPARENT: Built on a foundation of trust, FreightDEX ensures you get paid what you were quoted.
• SIMPLE & FOCUSED: A clean, easy-to-use interface designed for one purpose: to get you booked.

To use this app, you must have a registered and approved carrier account on freightdex.org.

Download Beacon today, log in with your FreightD-EX carrier account, and start turning your empty miles into booked loads.
