Intermodal containers are large, rectangular containers usually made out of metal. The word “intermodal” means “between modes,” referring to freight that can be transported between different modes of transportation. Intermodal containers are often seen on trains and ships — but when containers need to be delivered to a customer, they can be loaded onto a flatbed truck, and are transported by truckers.
The best load board for containers will offer as many freight listings as possible, with a search engine that’s easy to use. The DAT load board offers the best selection of specialty loads in the industry, with unlimited search and post for your next load.
A container load board operates just like any other load board — first, you’ll search for loads near you. Then, it’s up to you to determine which loads are the right match. The DAT load board includes financial insights such as average market rates and average time-to-pay, so you can understand which load will be best for your bottom line.
If you’re a trucker transporting intermodal containers, you’ll need to load containers onto your flatbed. The shipper will employ tools, like a forklift, that can place containers onto your vehicle. If a shipper is unreliable or has difficulty loading, you can find out before it’s too late with customer reviews on the DAT network.
As an owner operator, your truck is your small business. To make money from trucking, you’ll need to keep track of your budget and spending, find the best-match loads, and invest in the most helpful load board. The DAT load board provides financial insights, load match alarms, and budget management features — all available from your smartphone — to help your container trucking business thrive.
Free load boards are appealing, especially for truckers just starting off. Even though there’s less upfront cost, a free load board isn’t in the best interest of your business —free load boards often feature fewer loads, meaning you’ll sometimes miss out on the best loads with the best rates. A complete load board package with DAT offers the best selection of loads in the business, combined with trucking management tools on the DAT One mobile app, for long-term savings.
