New Load Board Features That Help Carriers Win

The freight market isn’t what it used to be. Rate pressure is squeezing margins. Competition is at an all-time high. Fraud is everywhere. It’s harder than ever for carriers to find and book profitable loads with trusted brokers.

At Truckstop, we know your success depends on more than just finding a load, it’s about finding and securing the right load, quickly. That’s why we’re launching new features on the Truckstop Load Board to give carriers a competitive edge, reduce wasted time, and help protect your business.

These updates are designed to help you:

• Gain negotiating power
• Find profitable backhauls and minimize deadhead
• Detect red flags before you book and keep your business safe

From conversations with thousands of carriers, we understand what you’re up against. Here are the new features that put more control back in your hands, because your time, trust, and bottom line matter.

1. Authority Age Filter

It’s frustrating to call on a promising load only to hear that your authority isn’t old enough. With the new Authority Age Filter, you can reduce the back-and-forth.

What it is: A new filter that shows which loads accept carriers based on their authority age.

Why it matters: Carriers can now filter for brokers who will work with them, which means no more wasting time calling brokers who won’t onboard you.

2. Load Popularity

When rates are tight, winning a high-paying load often comes down to timing and visibility. Our new “Views” column provides a sense of the competition and urgency.

What it is: A “Views” column in the Load Search Grid that shows how many times each load has been viewed.

Why it matters: Spot low-competition loads before they’re gone. Fewer views equals better odds and stronger negotiating power. Win smarter with the “Views” feature.

3. Backhaul Search

Deadhead costs eat into your margins. That’s why we added a one-tap origin-destination swap feature.

What it is: A new icon lets you instantly swap the origin and destination in your load search.

Why it matters: Quickly check for backhauls and reduce deadhead miles, helping you stay profitable on both legs of your trip.

4. Similar Loads Recommendations

Low volume lanes sometimes return too few results. But that shouldn’t mean a dead end.

What it is: If your search yields too few results, Truckstop will automatically suggest similar loads.

Why it matters: This feature keeps you moving forward with relevant recommendations, expands your options, and helps you stay productive even when freight is tight. No more wasted searches. Just more chances to book the right load.
