We also provide the tools that carriers and owner-operators need to negotiate the best rates.

Detailed, unlimited searches

Free load boards almost always have a catch. Maybe you’re only allowed to conduct a few searches. Or maybe you can only search for available loads by lane. This can take a lot of time and energy as you try to figure out whether a particular load is right for you. With the Truckstop Load Board, you don’t have to play guessing games. You’ll have unlimited searches and the ability to filter results to find the best loads according to your needs.

Trustworthy, fully vetted shippers and brokers.

Free load boards are generally open to anyone. Unfortunately, this puts you at risk for scams. Even if a posting is from a legitimate freight broker or shipper, you likely won’t be able to get much information about their business. With the paid load board from Truckstop, you can rest assured that all available loads are from high-quality brokers and shippers you can trust. We even offer tools that allow you to verify broker details before committing.
