Truckstop acquires software firm

B2B information. The Idaho-based Truckstop, one of two leading US freight matching and load board solutions, has acquired transport software company Grizella. Terms not disclosed. Truckstop. com was founded in 1995, when IT specialist Scott Moscrip began offering a better way for truck drivers to find loads than by posting signs on the side of their trucks or gathering around local bulletin boards. The still privately-owned company, which was the first of its kind in the US, now describes itself as a collector and provider of big data.
