What’s a load board?
A load board lists available spot freight to help carriers book short-term loads. Typically, you can browse stop locations, arrival and departure times, payment breakdowns, and any load requirements. Find the right load and book it fast.
“Relay’s load board gives me the opportunity to filter loads based on the type of load I’m looking for, down to the T.”
Why choose Amazon Relay’s load board?
Amazon Relay’s load board has no fees. It’s easy to cherry pick from real-time rates and mileage to find nationwide, verified loads that work for your business (the consistent Amazon-sized volume is a nice bonus). There are multiple load types to grow your business, from power-only and box truck, to reefer and intermodal.
Whether your goal is to take care of your drivers or to start the next leg of your own journey, Relay’s load board has time-saving tech to help you get started and keep going.
- Personalized load recommendations: Based on your past searches and booking history, it’s faster and easier than ever to grab a spot load and go. You can also save your company’s criteria to sort loads by preferences.
- Cancellation replacements: To help avoid the last-minute scramble, Relay’s load board suggests replacements for cancelled loads. We factor in the time and route constraints of the original load, so it’s as close to your scheduling needs as possible.
- Reload recommendations: Get more out of one-ways using Relay’s load board’s recommendations for return trips – or additional loads to continue a driver’s journey onward from their original destination.
- Load time flexibility: If you can’t book at a certain load time, some spot loads offer a scheduling window to help account for traffic, stem miles, and Hours of Service. While booking, you have the ability to choose a better pick-up option from a list of available times.
- Rate negotations: Most of Relay’s load pricing is framed around all-in, preset rates. But on some spot loads, you have the opportunity to name your own price. Relay Assistant, our AI-powered chat tool, will immediately evaluate your rate request. If approved, you can book the load right away. You may receive a counteroffer.
