Load Board — find & book freight in TMSDASH
A unified freight marketplace that merges your internal TMSDASH load board with external provider search in one ranked list. Filter by US census region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West), equipment, state, and pickup date. Three tabs — Find Freight, My Postings, and Connections — cover searching and booking freight, managing your own postings and awarded bookings, and linking external load-board accounts. Available to both CarrierTMS and BrokerTMS editions, plus a load-board-only tier for members who just want the marketplace.
