And this is completely fine but in most cases it doesn’t work because each one of us has its own way of running business and what is good for Joe doesn’t have to be good for Bill and vice versa. Any way I’ve created a small list what should you ask your friends when they start telling you that they have amazing load board:
- what is the cent per mile amount on average they achieve
- what is the weekly average mileage per truck
- what is the amount of out of route miles
- are all trucks covered or there is a gap in loads availability sometimes

First you need to determine some of the very important things before starting to go trough the process of deciding which load board to use. Some of the factors that can have a huge impact on choosing which load board to choose are the following:
- Decide whether you are fully leaving the load board you use currently or you want to use 2 or more load boards at the same time.
- Who is going to use new load board? The same dispatchers or you will assign it only to certain group to monitor results and performance.
- What type of loads are you looking to find? Dry Van, Flatbed, LTL or all of them. Check which load board perfectly fits certain loads.
- What Is the level of skill required to use certain load board. Can it be used by rookie or you need highly skilled people?
You see that there is quite a lot of details that can impact the decision which hot shot load boards to take into consideration so please check all of them to make you decision 100% right.
What Is The Size Of Your Trucking Company
This is a key factor when you decide which load board to use. Actually when I say the size of your trucking company that doesn’t have to mean necessary what is the number of trucks in your fleets. I mean what is the number of dispatchers in your company.
