Load boards are essentially digital bulletin boards where shippers and brokers can post the loads they need delivered. Those posts are then visible to carriers through the web-based program and mobile app.
Load boards also allow truckers to post their trucks so that the system can digitally match truckers and loads, notifying both parties right away so the freight can get on the road fast.
An expedited load is any type of freight that needs to be delivered quickly. Loads that have to arrive at a specific time, can’t be reloaded, or require delicate handling are all referred to as expedited.
Expedited trucking has seen huge growth since 9/11, when increased security made it much harder to get products on a plane fast.
The main trucks that are used for expedited freight are hot shot, sprinter vans, cargo vans, and straight trucks. No matter what kind of vehicle you have, the best way to find the loads you want is through an expedited loads load board.
Negotiating expedited loads can be tough since you have to act fast. To improve your negotiating power:
Know what kind of freight you’re looking for and make sure your truck posting reflects that.
Post your truck, with a rate, when other people aren’t (weekends and after business hours).
Try to quote the load during your first conversation with the broker. It’s better to overprice and start negotiations right away than not price at all.
Make sure you’re prepared to calculate the mileage fast — even while you’re on the phone with the broker.
Consider the inconveniences and what you want to charge for them.
By considering what you should be paid for a load beforehand, you can increase your negotiating power and get on the road faster.
