In their own words
LoadBetter
LoadBetter is a freight marketplace where shippers and brokers publish loads to selected carriers, then widen access through a public marketplace when they need more capacity. In private workflows, they can receive bids and counteroffers, accept Book Now responses, compare offers, and award a load. Private loads stay with the audience chosen by the publisher unless they are made public. Responses from the Public Marketplace remain connected to the same load and award process. Loadboard Network provides carriers with inbound freight opportunities alongside private and public freight. LoadBetter works alongside a customer's TMS; the TMS remains responsible for planning, accounting, billing, settlement, and financial records. The platform lists web, Android, and iOS access. Broker Free costs nothing, billed forever, with unlimited loads, internal users, and carrier invitations. Carrier costs nothing, billed free forever, with unlimited private-network participation and bids. LoadBetter says it charges no transaction, booking, delivery, or freight commission fees. Driver live tracking and the Driver App are listed as coming soon or in development.
