Load boards or load matching services can increase the efficiency of your fleet by matching empty trailers with loads that need to be shipped. For instance, you've just dropped a load in San Antonio, Texas and are now looking at driving an empty rig back home to Detroit, Michigan. A load board service can often hook you up with a load from San Antonio that needs to be shipped north, towards home.

Some load boards will notify you remotely when a load that matches your needs is entered into their system. A great resource for shippers and carriers alike, load board services generally get paid through monthly fees, although some provide the service free of charge.
