Hopper loads are bulk loads that are transported in a hopper trailer. These large freight loads typically consist of products like grain and gravel that can be emptied through a hopper at the bottom of the trailer.
If you’re interested in working with either the agriculture or construction industries, hopper loads are a great option because they are particularly popular in both areas. Not only are hopper loads an easy way to transport thousands of pounds of sand, grain, gravel, corn, and other aggregates from one point to another, the trailers also make it easy to dump the load in spaces that are too small for end-dump trailers.
Have you ever tried to find loads manually? If you have, you know what a slow and painstaking process it can be to find loads that match your business needs — not to mention finding business partners you can trust along with those loads. Once you do pick up a load, you have to invest a huge amount of time into trying to find a match — often coming up short.
This is true of any type of load, including hopper loads.
Luckily, a quality hopper load board like DAT can solve that problem for you. Once you enter your specific search criteria into the DAT load board, the relevant matches will instantly appear so that you can narrow your search and make the best possible business decisions.
Many truckers and owner operators rely on brokers to help them find hopper loads and connect with shippers when they’re first starting out. This can be pricey and complicated.
If you’re looking for the best place to find hopper loads to haul, there’s no better option than a load board — specifically the DAT load board. Simply use the straightforward search feature to enter information about your truck and the type of load you’re looking for and see the loads that match your search criteria. You can even save your frequent searches and set alerts so you always know when new loads matching your search appear on the load board.
Load boards are essentially digital bulletin boards where shippers and brokers can post the loads — including hopper loads — that they need to have delivered. Carriers can then view the load postings through the web-based platform or a mobile app. There they can compare loads and find the one that best fits their interests.
Load boards also give truckers the option to post their trucks so the system can digitally match loads and truckers. The load board platform notifies both parties as soon as it makes a match so the freight can get on the road fast.
If you’re looking for the biggest load board in the industry, look no further than DAT.
