Booking Loads

How Booking Freight Works

Brokers post freight on load boards. Drivers call, negotiate, and secure loads based on rate, distance, urgency, and availability.

Questions To Ask Brokers

• Is this direct freight?
• What are the pickup and delivery windows?
• How many pallets?
• Does it require liftgate or straps?
• What is detention pay?

Rate Negotiation

Never accept the first number automatically. Learn your operating costs before negotiating.
