Which Load Board To Use?
#1
Just wondering which one do you use, and if not one of these 3, then what do you use?
Getloaded Membersedge ITS. What are the pros and cons of each one? Thanks

I use ITS and get loaded. Sometimes they have the same loads, but most are different. I don't use members edge because it is too much to keep track of and they really didn't have a lot of loads. Usually loads are posted at around 7-8 am for where my dad runs. They go pretty quickly sometimes so you've got to know where you want to run and how much your rate is.

I primarily use Internettruckstop and getloaded. I am giving mymembersedge another chance. I never did much with them last time. I tried them shortly after OOIDA became involved with them. As to which is better, that is difficult to say. I think that I get more calls from getloaded. If I am looking for LTL's, I would say there is more for me to look at on internettruckstop, depending on where I am running. I wish that I could find a single load board that would do the job for me. It would save me a little money. There are also some free boards that the larger brokers have on their websites.

DATconnect. $125/month.
I've had Direct Connect, Post Everywhere, GL & ITS. The last 2 were costing me ~$70 a month. DATconnect is only another $55. You'll make that back on one load. Actually I thought Posteverywhere was a good deal. $25 a month and you get to post to several of the boards. I got alot of calls.

Another reason to use ITS is because the guy who owns it lives in New Plymouth Idaho. I lived their briefly from 1981-1985. I was in 7th grade when our school burned down and we had to walk from stores to churches in the snow to take our classes. :lol:

I signed up for MembersEdge a few weeks ago and it's not bad. It does seem to have all the loads that DAT has at a fraction of the cost. I'm pretty sure the loads come off DAT? Why so cheap? Because we are OOIDA members?

Transcore is supposed to have merged their various load board together so that all loads appear on all boards. The have several different boards under different names. The one that OOIDA has is called Mymembersedge. It isn't too expensive if you are a member of OOIDA.

It would be good to check loads from both boards at the same time coming from the same place. |
