Dear Santa: All I Want For X-Mas Is A LoadBoard

no comment Posted by Big Dan

loadboardA load board provides a series of services to the trucking community. It is the entrance to an online network of trucking resources, the simplest of which is the posting of loads to ship and trucks needing cargo. This simple and original premise of a place to find carriers and loads, a place to find work, has been expanded over time to include all the tools and technologies necessary for planning and overseeing a successful trip.

The most important service a load board offers is access to information. This information, including ratings for trucking lanes, locations for support services and truck stops, automatic matching for trucks and loads, backhaul planning, accurate mileage reports, weather and road condition reports, and credit information for freight holders among other things, is designed provide as comprehensive a set of tools for trip planning as possible. Load boards are about getting the information together, making it accessible, and providing the tools to use it effectively. One of the most recent additions to load boards is the ability to use their services from a cell phone as well as via the internet. This makes it possible for a trucker to get vital information from a much wider geographic area, without needing to stop and find or pay for wi-fi along the road. Without load boards, a trucker’s world would be a lot smaller.

The Low-Down On Load Boards

no comment Posted by Big Dan

load boardsLoad boards are an invaluable resource to the trucking community. They are a hub of information that is endlessly and easily accessible with an internet connection or even just a cell phone. First and foremost, they provide a place to list and find trucks and loads. But load boards are more than matchmakers. The wealth of resources that they provide can help a carrier maximize their opportunities, which is especially valuable in this economy.

The first thing that a load board can help you do is find a load. This is the easy part. In order to maximize profit, a carrier must plan ahead and consider their trip. Building a profitable career as a trucker now means planning for both the trip out and the return trip, being aware of your freight lanes, being aware of and making the most of your local opportunities, and diversifying your interests. It is no longer about finding the highest paying load and setting off. Because of this, a load board is an important tool for success. It’s the ultimate planning tool, providing technology that allows you to build multi-leg trucking routes, rate shipping lanes, and look for truck stops and support systems. It makes it possible to look at all of these factors, plan your trip, and then roll with the punches and change your plans from the road. The flexibility and comprehensive ability to plan that this information offers, are the key to success for a carrier in a challenging economy.

Carrier Survival In Tough Times

no comment Posted by Big Dan

carrier survivalTimes are hard for everyone, including the trucking industry. Despite it all there are a few bright spots. The first is that economists are saying that we have reached our lowest point and that the economy will now begin to recover slowly, but surely. That’s great news for the future, but how to hold on until then?

Unlike many other industries, shipping cannot be outsourced. Goods will always need to be moved from one location to another. The key is to be the one moving those goods and to make money doing it. Fortunately for the trucking industry, diesel prices continue to be low, helping to keep the costs of carrying low as well. What else can you do?

*Find as many ways as possible to cut costs. Be creative and efficient. One carrier keeps a coffeemaker on boards to reduce his need for stops.

*Use whatever sources necessary to secure a constant volume of work, in order to keep your gross income flowing. Load boards are a good source of postings.

*Diversify. Take on anything and everything you can to keep your truck full and moving.

Remember that although recent numbers say that industries outside of trucking are still losing position, truck-driving jobs remain in demand. This is despite furloughs and temporary hiring freezes. The key to success is to hold on and plan for the future.

The reason the ratio is so lopsided is that it currently takes too much time for trucking company to post each asset in their fleet to particular loadboard and after they post all of their trucks they can only be seen on that single freight matching site. offers simple to integrate API, allowing the thirdparty loadboard software to become compatible in as little as two days.
