Finding the freight

Load Sourcing & Booking

The highest-paying load on the board is often the wrong one, because it strands the truck somewhere thin on outbound freight. We book against the week: what the lane pays, what the return looks like, how the hours-of-service clock is running, and whether the driver gets home when they were promised. Direct shipper and repeat broker relationships get worked alongside the boards, because board freight is the most competitive freight there is.

Business outcomes

The change this work should make.

The engagement begins with a business constraint, not a list of deliverables. These are the outcomes we use to shape the scope and decide what deserves attention first.

01

Loads chosen against the whole week

02

Less deadhead between drops

03

Repeat lanes instead of board roulette

04

Home time that survives the schedule

Capabilities

A connected system, not isolated tactics.

The exact scope follows the constraint. These are the working parts we can connect, improve, document, and hand back to your team.

Load board search and filtering

02

Lane and backhaul matching

03

Deadhead and fuel cost modelling

04

Hours-of-service aware scheduling

Delivery workflow

From unresolved problem to an operating system.

We validate the constraint before building, keep decision owners visible, and document the logic your team will inherit.

  1. 01

    Fix the week’s shape

    Where the truck starts, where it must end, and what it has to gross. Everything else is a constraint on that, including the driver’s home time, which we treat as fixed rather than negotiable.

  2. 02

    Search wide, shortlist narrow

    Boards, repeat brokers and direct lanes together. A shortlist gets costed properly: deadhead, fuel, tolls, likely detention, and what the destination market looks like for the next outbound.

  3. 03

    Negotiate and book

    Rate agreed against the lane and the current market, then a rate confirmation in writing before the wheels turn. Verbal agreements are how carriers end up eating a reconsignment.

  4. 04

    Hand to the desk

    Booked load passes to dispatch with the broker contact, appointment times, and any accessorial the rate confirmation allows, so tracking and paperwork start from a complete record.

Straight answers

Questions worth resolving before the scope.

The useful answer is usually conditional. We keep those conditions visible rather than turning them into a promise the evidence cannot support.
