No subscription. No per-post fee. No renewal hike. Post your freight to a network of FMCSA-verified carriers — with live GPS tracking, clean documents and one-receipt payables built in, at no cost to your brokerage.
The largest load boards run well into the hundreds of dollars a month, and renewals routinely jump 25–45% at billing time. You pay the subscription whether or not it covered your freight this month.
Fake and stale postings flood the big boards — in one 2025 incident thousands of fake loads were posted under a single brokerage’s name. When the board is full of ghosts, carriers stop trusting real postings too, including yours.
Tracking, document capture and payables are usually separate paid tools. You end up stitching three subscriptions together just to move one load.
Create a broker account, post your load, reach verified carriers — no card, no tier, no per-post charge. LoadBoot earns from the carrier-side dispatch fee, never from you. Create a broker account →
Your load reaches carriers that fit the lane and equipment. First acceptance wins and every other offer auto-closes — no double-booked trucks, no round of check calls. See the live load board →
Geofenced arrive/depart stamps and a live map replace the “where’s my truck” calls — the visibility other boards charge extra for, included. See GPS tracking & proof →
Rate confirmation, BOL and POD ride the load; delivery flips it into a one-receipt payable with a PAY-BY deadline. No bolt-on TMS required. How payables work →
Stale postings auto-close and cancellations carry TONU exposure, so the board stays real — your postings are believed because fakes cost money here. The ghost-load problem →
Carrier financials and your internal notes stay private; you see load and trip status, ETAs and document state — nothing more, nothing less. The full broker program →
Carrier authority and MC/DOT are verified against the federal record, not photocopied once at signup. Inactive or revoked authority never gets your load. Carrier verification →
Certificates of insurance and account health are monitored over time, so a carrier that lapses tomorrow does not quietly stay eligible. How compliance is tracked →
GPS on the assigned truck is your defense against double-brokering — the load moves on the carrier you booked, and the record proves it. Why fake loads cost you →
Brokers search for a free load board for brokers, a DAT alternative, or a way to post loads free with no subscription for one reason: the paid boards are expensive and the fake loads waste your team’s time. LoadBoot puts posting on the free side and bundles the software the paid boards charge extra for. Here is the honest comparison — and always confirm current competitor pricing yourself, because it changes.
| Paid load boards | LoadBoot | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to post | ~$195–$345/mo + renewal hikes | Free — no subscription |
| Ghost / fake loads | Common | Zero — stale posts auto-close |
| Carrier vetting | Your job | FMCSA + insurance verified |
| Tracking | Separate paid tool | Live GPS included |
| Payables | Separate TMS | One-receipt payables included |

If you are a new freight broker building your carrier network, a paid subscription is a hard first cost before you have covered a single load. Posting free means you can put your freight in front of verified carriers from day one, with no ghost loads burning your first calls. Post your freight, cover it with vetted capacity, and only the carrier-side dispatch fee ever applies — never a charge to you. Create a broker account to start, or see how covering freight works end to end in the broker program.
Ready to post? Create a broker account — verification checks your authority and bond, then your first load reaches vetted carriers in minutes. Want the full picture first? See the broker program, and if you also move your own freight, ship direct to verified carriers. Curious what a subscription really costs you?

Stop chasing a load board hoping the right truck calls back. The LoadBoot Carrier Network flips it: search a live directory of FMCSA-verified carriers by lane, equipment, DOT or MC number and home base, read each carrier’s authority, insurance, on-time record and health score, then post a load directly to the carriers you choose and let their offers come to you — first to accept wins. It is the reverse of a load board: trusted capacity, sourced in minutes.
Filter verified carriers by lane, equipment (dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, power-only, hazmat, box truck), team status and home base — find the truck that fits before you ever post.
Every carrier passed FMCSA authority, insurance, W-9 and a signed agreement, and is watched live by our health engine — so double-brokering and freight fraud have nowhere to hide.
Only a broker or shipper who actually booked and delivered with a carrier can rate it — real reviews you can trust, not anonymous noise.
Send a load straight to the carriers you picked; the first to accept books it. No blast to the whole board, no double-booked trucks, no endless check calls.
Yes. Posting loads, sending offers, tracking, document handling and payables are all free for licensed broker partners. LoadBoot earns from the carrier-side dispatch fee, not from a broker subscription.
Those boards charge a monthly subscription (often $195–$345/month, with renewal increases) to post and search. LoadBoot posting is free, and it includes GPS tracking, documents and payables that paid boards treat as separate tools. Always confirm current competitor pricing yourself — it changes.
Approved broker partners with active FMCSA broker authority and the federal surety bond. Moving shipper freight requires a broker license in the US, so posting is gated on it — that gate is exactly why carriers treat LoadBoot postings as real.
Carriers are FMCSA-verified with insurance and account-health monitored continuously, offers are first-accept-wins so a load cannot be double-booked, and GPS on the assigned truck proves the real carrier is hauling. Stale postings auto-close.
Freight plus every approved accessorial groups into one per-trip payable with a PAY-BY deadline. Pay with one receipt; the carrier or their factor confirms. See payments & settlements.
