Load posting on LoadBoot is for licensed brokers — that is what keeps the board real. We read your broker authority live from FMCSA the moment you enter your MC (no PDF to upload), you accept one master agreement, and your first posting goes to verified, health-scored carriers with the rate card in writing, live GPS tracking and one-receipt payables built in.
Company email, password, your name — then choose Freight Broker (or Broker Agent if you post under a brokerage’s authority). Shippers and facilities have their own paths.
Your brokerage legal name and MC (or USDOT) number. LoadBoot reads your broker authority live from FMCSA Licensing & Insurance, with the SAFER snapshot as backup — FMCSA only keeps it active while the $75K BMC-84/85 is on file. Nothing to upload. Then confirm it is really your brokerage: automatic when your signup email is on your company domain, otherwise a code read by an automated call to your FMCSA-listed phone, or one click from the FMCSA-listed email. Nobody at LoadBoot has to pick up a phone. Then accept the Master Broker Agreement with one click.
The wizard walks route (exact pins power the geofences), schedule, equipment and the full rate card — detention, TONU, layover terms printed on the posting.
Your posting reaches verified carriers that fit the lane and equipment. New brokerages start with a few open postings and request-to-book: a carrier requests, you approve within 30 minutes, LoadBoot dispatch confirms the rate confirmation before the truck rolls. First acceptance wins — no double-booked trucks.
The live map, milestone timeline and GPS-stamped claims replace check calls. Delivery flips the invoice into your payables with a PAY-BY deadline.
That is the whole ask. Authority and bond are read live from the federal record — not a PDF you email us.
No MC of your own? Post under the brokerage you work for — or several. We screen each authority and email the brokerage’s FMCSA-listed address a 6-digit code plus a confirm link; they give you the code, you type it, done. Brokerage already on LoadBoot? Its owner approves you under Agents & team. Invited by them first? Confirmed the moment their MC passes.
Three things — W-9, bank instructions and a claims contact — lift the posting limit, turn on instant booking for carriers and move payables inside LoadBoot. Authority, bond and BOC-3 are filled in from the FMCSA screen; the agreement from your click. Nothing in it is needed for your first loads.
Teammate emails — everyone gets their own login on the same brokerage account.
Documents arrive where they matter — first booking and first payment — not as a wall in front of your first post.
Moving shipper freight requires a property-broker license — so posting is gated on it, read live from FMCSA rather than from a photocopy. A carrier MC cannot post. That is why carriers treat LoadBoot postings as real.
Anyone can type a real MC. So every new brokerage account is claimed through the contact FMCSA lists for that company (a code by automated call to that phone, a link to that email, or a domain match), one MC can be held by one account only, and the real owner is warned if someone tries to register it.
Carriers pass authority, insurance and account-health checks before your load is ever offered to them.
Detention, TONU and layover terms ride every posting — disputes die young because both sides agreed in writing.
Every posting is reviewed by LoadBoot dispatch before it goes live, new brokerages start with a small posting allowance, stale postings auto-close and cancellations carry TONU exposure — the board stays real because fakes cost money and cannot scale.
Any property broker whose authority shows ACTIVE on FMCSA — screened live at signup, no documents to start — once the account is confirmed as really theirs (company-domain email, a code by automated call to the FMCSA-listed phone, or one click from the FMCSA-listed address). Agents post under their brokerage’s MC once the brokerage confirms them. A carrier MC cannot post; carrier and shipper accounts are separate — see for brokers.
No. FMCSA keeps broker authority active only while a BMC-84/85 is on file, so the live authority check already covers the bond. The verification packet comes later and lifts the posting limit, turns on instant booking for carriers and moves payables inside LoadBoot — and it is only W-9, bank instructions and a claims contact, because authority, bond and BOC-3 were already read from FMCSA and the agreement was your one click.
New brokerages start with a few open postings and request-to-book, and the limit rises after your first delivered load. It is how the board stays free of ghost loads without asking you for a pile of PDFs on day one.
Authority, insurance and compliance are tracked continuously, and only carriers who pass hard eligibility checks are offered your loads.
Yes — load, trip, document and delivery events via webhooks and the API on approved endpoints.
Payables group per trip — freight plus approved claims, one total, PAY-BY deadline. Pay with one receipt; the carrier (or their factor) confirms. See payments & settlements.
Live load and trip status, geofenced arrive/depart stamps, ETAs, document status and open exceptions — without a single check call.
