What To Know About The FR8Star Carrier Load Board

by Jordan Larsen

FR8Star’s Carrier Load Board helps carriers find the right loads to haul. Let’s look at the features that assist in the search process.

Fully Filterable To Your Expertise

Finding the right load to haul can be a process, especially when connected to a network with an abundance of leads. FR8Star’s Carrier Load Board is fully filterable, allowing you to prioritize the factors you care about the most. The advanced search filter lets you search for loads that match your equipment, dates when your team is available to haul loads, and locations that match your current needs or availability.

Shippers can specify which country or state they are looking to ship to and from, allowing you to narrow the available leads to fit your preferred geographical area of work. You can also filter loads by minimum and maximum length, width, and height dimensions. Utilizing a combination of these filters will target the loads that best match your expertise and equipment in just a few simple steps.

Verified Customer Load Details

To ensure load details are accurate and transparent, FR8Star requires verified load dimensions before a shipper posts them. This means that before you bid on a load, you know its exact height, width, length, and weight, eliminating last-minute surprises. Pickup and drop-off locations are also included in every listing, as well as the estimated travel distance, allowing for proper route planning.

A broker-established carrier rate is provided on each listing; you can either accept the listed rate or provide a counteroffer. Each post may include pictures of the equipment, as well as contact information for the customer to expedite communication. A shipping method may also be recommended, giving you an idea of what equipment the broker expects prospective carriers to use for transport.

Get Connected to the Right Network

FR8Star’s Carrier Load Board is populated by shipping requests originating from Sandhills Global’s industry-leading platforms, including AuctionTime, Machinery Trader, TractorHouse, Truck Paper, and Equipmentfacts. It’s fast and easy for buyers on these and other Sandhills platforms to request FR8Star shipping quotes for items they purchase, including construction equipment, farm machinery, trucks and trailers, and more. This adds up to an abundance of leads for carriers, solving one of the key issues faced by the transport industry.

A bigger pool of shipping quote requests increases the likelihood of finding loads that match your operation’s expertise and availability. And, by extension, offering a greater variety of trailer types, services, and geographical availability as a carrier means you will find a much greater selection of loads to bid on.
