How booking works
1. Post the load with pickup and delivery cities, dates, weight and equipment. It is free.
2. Carriers bid. Only carriers with active authority and insurance on file, re-checked against FMCSA every night, can bid.
3. You choose the carrier and price, and you see each carrier's A-F safety grade before you book.
Equipment
Dry van, refrigerated (reefer), flatbed and partial loads can all be quoted. Tell us the commodity, weight and any temperature, tarp or liftgate needs when you post, along with receiver hours and any PO or appointment number.
Transit times
Federal Hours-of-Service rules cap a solo driver at 11 hours of driving a day, which works out to roughly 500 miles. Loads under about 250 miles usually deliver the same day, loads up to about 550 miles the next day, and longer runs take about one extra day for every 500 miles. Team drivers can cut long-haul transit close to half.
