I need to make better use of my rig and have been thinking about subscribing to a load board. There are so many out there I was hoping to get some advice on which you use and why?
Just some that I have looked at:
- GetLoaded.com
- Truckers Edge
- Direct Freight
- Truck Stop
If you use a load boards, what do you like about the service they offer and what do you hate?
Thanks.
Load boards? Which do you use and why?

GetLoaded has cheap freight, lots of bottom feeders posting loads. Last time I was on Truckers Edge I didn't see much variety. Never been on Direct Freight.
Internet Truck Stop, in my opinion, is the way to go. Lots of loads, good search tools and they have a credit check option that will help keep you from getting burned on payment. -
Thanks 48stater....I will look into Internet Truck Stop.

I use get loaded when i need a load board. 99% of the loads on 1 site will be on the other. IMO get loaded for the credit score, load search and truck posting is the best value. I have tried internet truck stop but went back to get loaded. Easier to use and i find more direct shippers on get loaded than i did on the others.

Just trying to do research as to how much loads are paying now days, but all the boards seem to require a MC# before you can sign up
I'm willing to pay the money, but does anyone know a board that doesn't require the MC? Can I pay someone's load board costs for a month so I can do my research? haha

How many different load board sites use the DAT board?
From what I understand, there are a few different websites that use the DAT board with just a different skin. Kind of like being franchised out. One could start their own loadboard by just plugging in DAT's board and have your own unique setup and such. -
i use internet truck stop, as a paid service
i also use landstar and mercer load boardstrawberryrhubarbpie Thanks this. -
Use Real Time Freight, great tools, rate solution too, lots of loads.
-
I was just about to ask about this. Using GetLoaded right now and was considering picking up Internet TS and wasn't sure if it would be worth it seeing as home the same load would most likely be on both sites. Anyone have and pro's and cons with each one of these?
