Creating Load Board Solutions and Innovative Tools
For Truckers, Brokers and Shippers
A freight matching service that is now a tradition
Our founders recognized the need for a freight matching service where transportation professionals like carriers, owner-operators, brokers and shippers could connect and negotiate rates and terms for individual loads in order to move more freight across North America. Since 2004, 123Loadboard has grown to become one of the leading freight matching services in the northern hemisphere, with a focus on usability, customer service, and the continued development of new, state-of-the-art tools, all while keeping their subscription cost lower than the competition.
