Freight Matching

Freight matching is the process of pairing consignors (shippers) to freight carriers by using truck load boards. Companies and independent owner operators use load boards to fill available space and avoid unprofitable, empty miles driven. The boards state available space and destinations to potential customers.

Those customers use the boards to match shipping requirements, which are then matched to destinations and available trucks. There are many truck load boards available online.

Most individual to medium-size shippers will never use these boards, as they require a certain level of expertise to use them productively. Large companies prefer regular shippers who move truck loads or LTL often.
