How much does an aggregated load board cost?

Stretch XL Freight's aggregated carrier load board is $35 per month with a 7-day free trial that requires no credit card. By comparison, subscribing to each individual major load board separately typically costs $200-$500 per month combined.

Do I need to pay separately for each load board?

No. The whole point of the aggregated model is one subscription, one login. We license access to the major load boards on the back end and surface every posting in your search.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your dashboard in one click. No contracts, no cancellation fee, no questions. If you cancel during your 7-day trial you are never charged anything.

Are the carriers and brokers on the board vetted?

Yes. Every carrier subscribing to our load board passes FMCSA SAFER verification at signup — DOT number, MC number, active operating authority. Brokers posting direct-shipper loads pass the same check. Live FMCSA SAFER data is shown next to every bid so the shipper picking a carrier can verify insurance, safety score, and authority status in one glance.

Aggregated Load Board: Every Major Board in One $35/Month Login

An aggregated load board collapses the major freight load boards into a single search. One subscription, one login, every posting. Stretch XL Freight does it for $35/month — and we add direct-shipper loads you won't find anywhere else.

If you're an owner-operator or running a small fleet, you already know the bill: $150-$300 per month for one board, double that for two, and triple to actually see the freight on all the boards your competitors are quoting on. The math is brutal and the dashboards don't talk to each other.

An aggregated load board fixes that. One subscription pulls every major board's freight into a single search, so you stop paying for redundant memberships and stop tab-switching to see what's actually moving on your lane.

How an aggregated load board works (the honest version)

The major load boards each maintain their own database of freight postings — brokers and shippers post a load, the board's carriers search, the carrier calls or bids. There's nothing inherently magical about each board; they're just databases of loads with a UI on top.

An aggregator like Stretch XL Freight licenses programmatic access to each of the major boards on the back end. We pull every posting in real time and merge it into one search. You see the broker name, MC number, contact phone, and the all-in rate per load — the same data you'd see logging into each board individually, just consolidated. You bid or you call direct. There are no middlemen between you and the load.

What we layer on top is what makes the aggregation worth the subscription:

Direct-shipper loads

Shippers and small brokers post loads exclusively through Stretch XL Freight that aren't on any of the major boards. We tag them SXLF Direct. No broker margin between you and the shipper.

FMCSA SAFER on every bid

When you submit a bid on an SXLF Direct load, the shipper sees your live FMCSA SAFER record — insurance, authority, safety score — next to your rate. Sharp safety = bids win.

Saved lane searches

Pin the lanes you actually run. One click on every login, every day. Stop re-typing "Atlanta to Charlotte, flatbed, 250-mile radius."

Quick-pay option

Optional 24-hour settlement on accepted loads for a 2% factoring fee. Stay on standard 30-day if you prefer — your choice per load.

Cost comparison: aggregated vs paying each board individually

Approach	Monthly cost	What you see	Contract
One subscription, biggest board only	$149-$300	That board's freight only	Usually monthly
Two subscriptions for fuller coverage	$249-$500	Two boards' freight, two logins, two interfaces	Usually monthly each
Three subscriptions for max coverage	$400-$700	Most freight, but three dashboards to juggle	Usually monthly each
Stretch XL Freight aggregated board	$35	All the major boards + SXLF Direct loads, one search	None — cancel anytime

At the high end you'd save about $665 per month. Even at the conservative low end ($149 single-board vs $35 aggregated) you'd save $114/month and get fuller coverage. The math goes one way.

Who an aggregated load board is right for

If you're any of the following, the aggregated model probably saves you money and time:

Owner-operator running 1-3 trucks who needs to see freight from every board but can't justify $400/month in subscription costs.
Small fleet (4-20 trucks) where each dispatcher is currently logged into multiple platforms simultaneously and you want one source of truth.
New authority just starting out, where every dollar matters and you need fast freight visibility without committing to long-term contracts.
Specialty carrier (flatbed, reefer, hotshot, step-deck) where the right load is rare and you need wide coverage to find it.

If you're a mega-fleet with 50+ trucks and a TMS that already pipes into every board's API directly, an aggregated board is less interesting — you've already paid for everything and built the integrations. But for anyone smaller, the aggregated model is a clean win.

What you actually get on day one

Common questions

What is an aggregated load board?

An aggregated load board pulls freight postings from every major load board into a single search interface. One subscription replaces multiple board subscriptions. The aggregator licenses access to each underlying board's data — you see the original broker, MC, and contact info, just in one place.

How does $35/month compare to paying each board separately?

Individual board subscriptions run $149-$300 per month each. Carriers wanting full coverage typically pay $400-$700/month combined across two or three boards. Stretch XL Freight's aggregated board is $35/month flat, with no contracts.

Is there really no credit card required for the free trial?

Correct. Sign up, pass FMCSA SAFER verification, and you have 7 days of full access. We don't ask for a card up front. Two days before the trial ends you'll get a reminder; if you don't add a card the access pauses (with no charge) and you can reactivate any time.

Can I post my own truck as available?

Yes — post your truck with origin city, available date, equipment, and preferred lane radius. Brokers searching for capacity on your lane see your posting and reach out direct.

What's "SXLF Direct" and why do I want it?

SXLF Direct loads come from shippers and small brokers who post exclusively through Stretch XL Freight — they're not on any other load board. There's no third-party broker margin between you and the shipper, which often means a better rate. You see them tagged at the top of every search.

How do you verify the carriers on the board?

Every carrier passes FMCSA SAFER verification at signup — DOT number, MC number, active operating authority. Live SAFER data (insurance status, safety score, authority status) is shown next to every bid you submit on an SXLF Direct load so the shipper picking a carrier can verify your record in one glance. Maintaining clean SAFER data is a competitive advantage on our platform.
