Question, on the load board on one of the loads you looked at had it classified as "Full Load". Does that mean that the shipper only wants their shipment on the trailer and you cannot add another LTL, if there is space, or are they just giving their estimation that they consider that their load will occupy most of your trailer?
@CasualPooper3 жыл бұрын
It means you "can't pick up anything else". Some times they require daily pictures of your trailer.

When speaking with the broker, Ask if the Rate posted is an All-In rate. If not Negotiate it into the Rate. Make sure your calculations are done BEFORE You even call the Broker. Sincerely, A Freight Dispatcher.

As a cdl hotshot I use truck stop on my phone through an app. Not the live version. But as a cdl hotshot in not worried about being loaded and finding loads cause I can haul double what’s non cdl can. If I where non cdl I would deff use the live version cause non cdl loads on the boards r only on the boards for seconds. Even better if u have a dispatch that can keep their eyes on the boards for u.

In the past I used both DAT and Truckstop but I found them redundant. Maybe, at times, they were a few different loads on a particular board but after your video I think I might give truckstop another chance. If you are advocating using more than 1 board then which other board do you use?

Partial loads means you should be able to stack multiple loads on your trailer to get the best rate per mile full loads means they want your trailer dedicated just to that one load no matter how small or how big it is even if it's 4 ft by 4 ft and you still have 24 ft of space for instance left on your trailer it doesn't matter you can't put nothing else on there
