Carrier 360 by J.B. Hunt vs Doft Load Board

Carrier 360 by J.B. Hunt is a free service for approved carriers to find, book, and manage loads, handle check calls, upload documents, and get paid. Its load board filters by location, equipment type, and other criteria; carriers can place an offer or instantly book most loads. Recommendations draw on carrier history and favorite searches, and the board can show fuel savings locations along a route. App tools include assigning drivers to loads, managing a fleet, starting load tracking, uploading documents, creating invoices, and managing contracted power-only and drayage freight. Arrival check calls can be automated through ELD or tracking integration, while loaded and unloaded check calls require manual entry. Listed perks include Pilot Flying J Truck Care discounts, myRewards points and diesel savings, Goodyear discounts, facility ratings, and early load visibility for qualifying carriers. Qualifying carriers can use free Quick Pay; standard payment is listed as 21 business days with no fee. Carrier 360 is available on Android, iOS, and web. J.B. Hunt says drivers should not interact with the app while operating a vehicle.

Doft Load Board connects shippers and carriers through a freight-matching platform. Its homepage advertises more than 200,000 loads daily. Carriers can filter loads by lane, deadhead radius, equipment and minimum rate per mile, then use load alerts and booking tools. The Premium carrier plan includes up to 20 parallel AI calls for negotiating, booking and check calls, but rate information is available for only 10–30% of loads. Shippers can post manually, in bulk, by CSV or through website imports; they can collect bids, message drivers, create a private board, book shipments and follow delivery on a live map. The driver app shares GPS location, posts delivery statuses and uploads proof of delivery. Doft says it checks carriers against FMCSA records before booking. The service is available on Android, iOS and web. Carrier Basic access is free, while Premium costs $19.99 a month and has a 0.99 USD booking fee. Shippers can use a free plan, with a 99 USD driver acceptance fee when accepting a driver.
