What is Load board in freight?
A load board is a marketplace where brokers post available freight and carriers post available trucks. It is the primary way spot freight finds capacity outside of established relationships. Posted rates on a board are a live signal of what a lane is paying right now, which is why board activity moves ahead of contract pricing.
