Loadboard premium packages

Is their a real benefit to paying the premium dollars for the loadboard and getting the moving averages for specific lanes, or being able to negotiate rates? I know what I’ve been hauling it for. If I can make more money bc of the information that comes with it then sure. Sign me up. But if theirs no real edge to having it then it’s a waste of money. I’ve already been hauling from load boards for a couple months now. Some post rates, and some don’t. Some would come up and sum wont. Is their a benefit to knowing what the 7 day average in a specific lane. When I stay close to home anyway. I don’t go to far anymore

 

I think they get it a few minutes before. But sometimes I may b busy and not look until 10. I try to book my loads in advance bc waiting til your empty sucks. The good loads stay booked a week In Advance l. But then I want the short tarp loads that pay 3-4$ a mile. I HAVE to b home every night. I got kids and I old lady lol

 

Do you think the extras are worth the money? Would it actually help me negotiate rates with a broker?

 

it’s only a few minutes behind. I try to book tomorrow’s loads today though so I’m ahead. It’s the rates that I was specifically asking for a benefit too. Does having a lanes 7 day moving avg give u any benefit to negotiate? In my experience so far. Some will come up a little and some won’t. I will never haul a load for TQL cus they have the ####tiest rates out of them all. Their are several others as well. Try to low ball you on the same load another is paying 100$ more for. U ask about it and they play dumb. That’s when I get upset. If one wants to play dumb then I’m going to talk to them like they’re stupid
