Load board concept was widely
used in America & Canada for more than 15 years for making the
transportation system more advanced and speedy. Now-a-days load board concept
is also emerging in India.
A loadboard, otherwise known as a freight board
is a web based bulletin board useful for Shippers, carriers and their intermediaries
to dispatch/match their services online.
A bigger portion of freight containing 1 billion
tons per year all over the country, or 20% of all commercial truck freight is
being moved on load boards.
Through a load board the companies covering freight
can meet new carriers requiring hauling loads.
The most important feature of load board is to solve the problem of back
load. As for instance a trucker working for a large carrier can get himself at
the end of an extended haul and requiring driving home, but not getting a load to
pack his truck. Wanting to stay away
from running an empty truck, the trucker’s dispatcher may rely on a load board
to get a one-time freight shipment obtainable at the same direction as the
trucker. He can then call the shipper straight
to organize a deal, load the truck, and keep away from the cost of driving
empty.
Posting
a Load
Carriers will illustrate the nature of their
equipment required to haul their freight, where the freight is, and where it is
to be delivered. After being posted, the
load will be observable to thousands of carriers with millions of trucks who
are looking for well-matched loads and calling load providers to settle a
deal.
Searching
for Carriers
Carriers will vigorously explore load boards so
that they can get freight to match their requirements. They will also post their trucks, hence
shippers and their intermediaries can locate them and contact them
directly.
As for example many trucks lack of a specific
destination in mind. Many carriers prefer to set out anywhere ensuring a good
load at a reasonable rate. Carriers
often seek freight to pack a “back haul” or a return trip from a previous
destination.
