Loads posted by phone call and text
Availability tracked in someone's head or a shared spreadsheet, with no record of who claimed what and when.
LOGISTICS AND ELD · LOAD BOARDS
Freight matched to capacity, owned inside your own platform
A load board matches available freight with available carrier capacity: a shipper or broker posts a load, a carrier with space claims it. Built into your own platform rather than rented from a shared third-party board, the relationships it creates stay yours.
THE RANGE OF PRACTICE
What phone-and-spreadsheet looks like, and what a built-in board looks like
Described by behaviour, not by a score.
A generic board, subscription-based, shared with competitors
Loads visible to every carrier posting on the same board, with no ownership over the relationships formed on it.
A load board owned as part of your own platform
Shipper and carrier relationships stay inside your own system, with claiming logic that prevents double-booking a load.
WHERE WE SIT
Built as part of the platform, not a rented subscription
A load claimed by one carrier is held immediately, preventing a second carrier from committing to the same freight while the first is still confirming, the same double-booking protection applied to booking systems generally. Third-party services, where integrated, are billed at cost.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Questions about load boards
The ones that come up before anyone signs anything.
A listing system matching available freight, a load that needs moving, with available capacity, a carrier or driver with space and a route. It works like a marketplace: shippers or brokers post loads, carriers see what is available and claim one.
A generic third-party load board charges a subscription and shows your loads to every competitor also posting on it. A load board built into your own system keeps your shipper and carrier relationships inside a platform you own, without paying a per-seat fee to a board you do not control.
The load is held the moment a carrier starts claiming it, the same principle applied to booking systems generally, so two carriers cannot both commit to the same freight while the second is still confirming.
