In their own words
Doft Load Board
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.
