Load boards are where freight lives. Here is what the main ones cost and what you actually get for the money.
The paid boards
DAT and Truckstop are the two biggest. Both sell tiers that add rate data, broker credit scores, and search tools. Expect a monthly subscription.
Free and built-in options
Some brokers and factoring companies include a board for free. Useful for backup, but the freight pool is thinner than the paid boards.
