FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Load Board

What is a load board, and how does it work

A load board is an online platform that connects carriers and shippers to match available loads with trucks that have capacity. Carriers post their available trucks, while shippers post loads that need to be moved. Through the platform, users can view load locations, dates, and rates, making it easy to find matches based on location, schedule, or equipment type. This setup helps carriers maximize vehicle usage, reduce empty miles, and keep trucking operations profitable, while helping shippers move freight effectively with a network of vetted and reliable carriers.

How does load matching work on a load board platform?

Load matching connects carriers with the right freight by letting them filter for loads based on location, timing, freight type, or even destination. Need something close to your last delivery point? Load boards can show you loads available nearby. With options to filter by appointment times and final destinations, you’ll find loads that maximize your trucks’ efficiency. Advanced tools also suggest loads based on past preferences, making it easy to keep your trucks full and moving profitably.

How does Sylectus load board integrate with fleet management systems?

The Sylectus load board is designed to fit seamlessly into your fleet’s broader operations, connecting with tools like DVIR for inspection reporting, IntelliScan™ for cargo tracking, and ELD compliance monitoring. These integrated solutions create a unified system where data flows easily, allowing you to manage everything from load tracking to driver compliance in one place. This connectivity means less time switching between systems and more focus on the bigger picture.

With integration across these Solera solutions, Sylectus load board gives carriers real-time visibility and actionable insights that improve dispatch, route planning, and asset management. By centralizing operations into a single platform, Sylectus enables carriers to make smarter, quicker decisions that enhance productivity and keep operations running smoothly.

What kind of information is available about each load on the board?

Load boards provide essential details for each load, helping carriers determine if a load fits their needs. Information typically includes:

  • Pickup and delivery locations
  • Load type and weight
  • Rate and payment terms
  • Shipper or broker contact information
  • Credit ratings and safety scores (when available)

This transparency enables carriers to make informed choices, ensuring that each load meets their operational goals and schedule.

How can a load board help reduce deadhead miles and improve profitability?

Load boards connect carriers with nearby loads that match their routes and preferences, helping to make every mile count. By adding backhaul loads or filling in gaps, you’re not just reducing deadhead miles—you’re also boosting revenue per trip. When loads align with your truck’s schedule and direction, you keep trucks full, drivers productive, and costs down.

Does Sylectus load board offer tools to track and manage booked loads?

Yes, Sylectus load board offers intuitive tools to streamline tracking and management of booked loads. Once a load is assigned, you can monitor it in real-time, keeping tabs on every mile and milestone from pickup to delivery. The platform’s dashboard provides instant access to load status updates, delivery progress, and potential delays, so you can address issues quickly and keep everything on schedule. This visibility helps you manage loads efficiently, saving time and improving communication with customers.

How can load boards help new carriers find consistent work?

For new carriers, a load board is a powerful tool to establish a steady workflow and build connections with shippers and freight brokers. By accessing thousands of available loads daily, carriers can fill schedules with profitable jobs and minimize downtime. Load boards also allow carriers to build a positive track record by completing jobs with reliable partners, gaining visibility and trust within the network. Over time, these consistent connections help carriers maintain a steady pipeline of work.

What role does load board technology play in optimizing freight logistics and route planning?

Load boards do more than just match loads–they play a key role in optimizing logistics and route planning. Carriers can use the board to align loads with their existing routes, find backhauls to avoid empty miles, and select loads that fit specific schedules. Advanced load boards use data insights to help fleets identify the most efficient routes, cutting down on fuel costs and transit time. By enhancing load management and route efficiency, load boards help maximize fleet productivity.

How can I search for loads based on location, equipment type, or rate?

Load boards make it easy to find exactly what you need through advanced search and filtering options. You can search for loads near a specific location, select by equipment type—whether it’s dry van, flatbed, or reefer—and even filter by rate to meet your revenue targets. Many load boards also let you save search parameters, making it quick to locate high-priority loads each time you log in, ensuring you always get the best opportunities suited to your fleet.

Can I negotiate rates through the load board, or are prices fixed?

While some load boards offer fixed rates, many give carriers the option to negotiate. Rate flexibility depends on the load’s origin, destination, and urgency. Carriers can communicate directly with brokers or shippers to agree on pricing that works for both parties. This flexibility allows carriers to secure rates that match their operational costs and target margins, ultimately improving profitability and helping build partnerships with shippers and brokers who value their services.

How can Sylectus load board help me find available freight or loads?

Sylectus load board provides access to thousands of available loads daily, giving carriers ample options to fill their schedules and reduce idle time. The platform lets you filter loads by location, destination, equipment type, and rate, making it easy to find jobs that fit your routes and revenue goals. With real-time notifications, you can stay updated on new loads that match your criteria, allowing you to keep trucks full and maximize revenue per mile.
