Truckstop.com just dropped something that’s getting a lot of attention across the industry, a load board built exclusively for dry van drivers.
For years, owner-operators and small fleets have had to sift through mixed equipment listings on standard boards, often wasting time on loads that didn’t fit their setup. Now, Truckstop says it’s changing that with a new platform made specifically for dry van haulers who want fast, verified freight without the extra noise.
“Small fleets and owner-operators are the backbone of the trucking industry,” said Scott Moscrip, CEO of Truckstop.com. “We know this freight recession has been especially tough, with van rates trailing other equipment types and offering some of the lowest pay per mile in the market. That’s why we created a dedicated Van Load Board at a lower price point, to give van carriers quick, verified access to high-quality freight and real-time market data. This Founder’s original pricing reflects our commitment to stand with the industry and support those who need it most during this challenging season.”
According to Truckstop, the dry van-only platform helps drivers and small fleets quickly find verified loads tailored to their specific equipment. With unlimited searches starting at just $35 per month, users get access to Truckstop’s high-quality freight listings and real-time data to help them make smarter booking and rate decisions.
The new load board offers unlimited load searches and postings for dry vans only, meaning drivers can zero in on the best-paying loads faster and at a lower cost.
Truckstop’s new platform comes in two versions, Basic and Pro.
The Basic version includes:
• Private Loads that connect carriers directly to freight from trusted brokers within their network
• Load Popularity and Truck Count by State to spot less competitive lanes and strengthen negotiating power
• Broker Factorability Data to identify brokers and loads eligible for factoring for faster payments
• A Routes Map to plan efficient hauls and reduce empty miles
• Access to Canadian Loads for cross-border opportunities
The Pro version includes everything from Basic, plus added rate intelligence from FreightWaves SONAR Insights, giving drivers access to same-day and forecast data to understand shifting markets, compare lanes, and negotiate stronger deals.
“Freight rates are constantly changing, and small fleets need accurate, real-time data to make smart decisions and negotiate better rates,” said Julie Van de Kamp, chief marketing and operations officer at FreightWaves SONAR. “By integrating SONAR rate intelligence into the Truckstop Load Board, small carriers gain all the visibility advantages that larger companies have in today’s volatile freight market to outpace the competition.”
The Pro plan also unlocks:
• Real-time Live Loads in the most active lanes
• Load Comparison tools to evaluate multiple loads side by side
• A Rate Per Mile Heat Map to identify high-paying regions
• Multi-trip search for planning back-to-back hauls
• Instant Load Alert Notifications sent right to your phone
Truckstop says this new platform is about one thing: giving dry van drivers the tools to compete and earn more in a tough market. By simplifying the process and offering transparent data, the company aims to help small fleets and owner-operators find the best-paying freight faster.
Truckstop also recently announced a partnership with the NMFTA to combat freight fraud, another step toward protecting drivers and brokers across the industry.
