Private Fleet Net Zero Becomes a McLeod Software Certified Partner to Expand Access to Reliable Private Fleet Backhaul Capacity 

1 MIN READ

San Francisco, CA – August 4, 2026 – Private Fleet Net Zero (PFNZ), the first Private Fleet Backhaul Exchange, has been certified as a McLeod Software Partner. 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. 

“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 of Private Fleet Net Zero. 

Benefits for Fleets 

  • Monetize empty backhaul miles 
  • Lower cost-per-mile metrics 
  • Verified CO₂ reduction reporting 
  • Seamless participation within McLeod workflows  

Benefits for Truckload Buyers 

  • Access high-quality, low-risk private fleet capacity 
  • Improve service reliability for key accounts 
  • Increase margins from unutilized private fleet backhaul capacity 
  • Strengthen customer retention with predictable performance 

“McLeod private and dedicated fleets have already paid for the truck, driver, insurance, maintenance and most of the fuel on return trips, it is time for these fleets to get margin rich revenue from available backhauls” said Ahmed Ebrahim, Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships & Integrations at McLeod Software. “This certified partnership gives truckload buyers a secure option to strengthen margins, reduce waste, and improve service outcomes.”
