In short

We search load boards and broker contacts for freight that fits your equipment, lanes, and schedule, then bring you options to approve.

What load sourcing includes

  • Searching load boards and direct broker contacts for your equipment type
  • Filtering out loads that do not fit your weight limits, lanes, or home time
  • Checking broker details before a load is presented to you
  • Planning the next load early to reduce empty miles

What you decide

  • Which loads you accept or decline
  • The lanes and regions you will run
  • Your minimum acceptable rate
  • When you are available and when you need home time

What does load sourcing involve?

Load sourcing is the work of finding freight that matches a specific truck. It is more than refreshing a load board: a useful load has to fit the equipment, the driver’s hours, the next pickup location, and the carrier’s rate floor.

We start from your operating profile, which covers equipment, weight capacity, preferred lanes, and home-time needs. We use that profile to narrow searches before calling or emailing brokers.

How loads are presented to you

  1. Step 1: Search

    We look for freight near your current or planned location that matches your equipment and lanes.

  2. Step 2: Screen

    We review pickup and delivery windows, weight, commodity, and broker details.

  3. Step 3: Present

    You get the key details: origin, destination, miles, rate, and timing.

  4. Step 4: Approve

    Nothing is booked until you say yes.

Planning beyond a single load

A high-paying load that leaves a truck in a weak market can cost more than it earns. Where possible we look at the likely next load out of a delivery area before recommending a load into it, so your week is planned as a sequence rather than one load at a time.

Equipment this applies to

Load sourcing works across equipment types, with different priorities for each:

Questions about load sourcing

Do I have to accept every load you find?

No. You approve every load before it is booked. Declining a load does not affect how we work with you.

Which load boards do you use?

The specific load boards and subscriptions are confirmed during your consultation, because access can depend on your equipment and existing accounts.
