What’s the process of booking a load?

Our agents will stay in contact with you and/or your drivers to obtain their current location and ETA to delivery. Once we know where you are and where you’re going, we’ll begin working on getting you a reload. Once a qualified load is found, our agents will begin to gather information and negotiate rates. We’ll always contact you for approval on every load so there’s nothing to worry about. If you agree to the load offer, we will begin the set-up process, completing packets, requesting insurance certificates, and submitting the necessary documents to the broker. Once complete we will sign the rate confirmation, dispatch you or your driver, send the load information to the driver via our platform and add the original rate confirmation to our portal for your reference.

We do not force dispatch. If a load offer does not suit your needs, we will continue to look for a load that is acceptable and approved by you.
