The main purpose of the online load boards system is to allow shippers, as well as carriers, find each other to make transportation easier.
Moreover, together they enter agreements crucial for moving their freight. Most of the boards are sophisticated and not only allow you to post loads but search for the types you need as well.
In addition, they provide multiple services to freight brokers and the carriers. Depending on the type of board, the services you can find are the following:
- Matching loads
- Credit and days to pay information
- Message boards
- Making notes on shippers and carriers
- Verification of FMCSA
- Finance information on a pre-approved load with factoring
- Mobile access
