Doft Load Board vs RXO Connect

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.

RXO Connect is a digital freight platform for carriers and carrier representatives to find loads, make offers, manage active loads, and view payments. Its load board covers full truckload, LTL, refrigerated, expedited, power-only, and last-mile freight, with thousands of daily loads available to choose from. Carriers can find dedicated lanes, bid, negotiate rates, and make counter-bids. Load tools include Hot Deals filters, GPS tracking updates, and driver dispatch with fleet oversight. When available, users can book two loads at once or post a truck to receive load notifications. RXO Drive provides Connect functionality on smartphones through iOS and Android apps. RXO's proprietary API can bring available loads into a carrier's preferred platform and allow loads to be bought directly. Users can submit payment paperwork through Connect, and RXO Extra adds a marketplace with fuel-card programs, factoring services, vendor discounts, and brokered freight. The platform is free for carriers and carrier representatives, for commercial or business use by people aged 18 or older in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Multi-factor authentication is required; some functions need an active internet connection.
