PTTR1 Load Board

Brokers and shippers post loads. Carriers and dispatchers find the ones that fit their truck, their lane and their rate. One account, no guessing who is on the other end.

What is a load board?

A marketplace where freight and trucks meet

A load board is a list of freight waiting for a truck. A broker or shipper posts a load: where it picks up, where it goes, what it weighs, what trailer it needs and what it pays. A carrier with an empty truck searches that list, picks a load that fits, and books it.

PTTR1 adds what a plain list leaves out: who posted it and whether they check out, the market rate for the lane, the miles you drive empty to reach it, and the paperwork kept on the load from first bid to last invoice.

Freight
Loads posted by brokers and shippers, live on the board.
Trucks
Carriers post empty trucks, so loads can find them too.
Trust
Authority, insurance and standing shown before you commit.

How it works

From an empty trailer to a paid load, in five steps

1
1. Post
A broker or shipper posts a load one by one, or uploads a whole sheet. Carriers can post an empty truck and the lanes they want.
2
2. Search and match
Filter by origin, destination, equipment, pickup date, rate and deadhead. Save a search, or set a lane alert and let loads come to you.
3
3. Bid or book
Book at the posted rate, or bid. The poster can accept, decline or counter, and every offer stays on the load.
4
4. Haul and track
Both sides see the stops, the pickup and delivery windows and where the load is, on the map and on the load.
5
5. Paperwork and invoice
The rate confirmation, documents and invoice live on the load. Freight payment is settled between the parties, outside PTTR1.

Know the number

Never take a load without knowing what the lane pays

Market rates, top paying lanes and lane alerts sit next to the board, so the rate on the screen is never the only number you have.

Ports and rail

Containers do not stop at the port gate

Drayage and intermodal moves are loads too. Post the container, the terminal and the last free day, and find a carrier with a chassis to haul it between the ship, the rail ramp and the warehouse.

Questions

Questions truckers ask first

Who can use the Load Board?

Carriers, brokers, shippers and dispatchers. You sign up once, say what your company does, and the menu shows the parts that fit your role.

Does PTTR1 pay carriers or collect freight money?

No. PTTR1 records the agreed rate, the documents and the invoice, but freight payment happens between the broker and the carrier, outside the platform.

How do I know a broker or carrier is real?

Credibility reports read authority, insurance and standing live from FMCSA, so you can check before you bid or book. Anyone can run one, with or without an account.

Can a dispatcher book for my trucks?

Only if you let them. A dispatcher acts for your company within the access you grant and you can take it back at once. Banking details and your authority records are never shared.

Can I post a lot of loads at once?

Yes. Upload a spreadsheet, fix any flagged rows in the page, and post the whole sheet. A load that is already booked is never overwritten by a new upload.

Is there an app for the phone?

Yes, PTTR1 has mobile apps for the office and for drivers. See the products page for what each one does.
