Carrier Dashboard

Learn how the Dashboard feature can benefit carriers by analyzing national load counts.

1 minute to read

Besides giving you recent release information, the Dashboard also has the National Loads Count, a very useful tool to identify where demand for carriers is the highest.

Simply choose the Equipment Type you have and the chart will update with the most recent totals.

How to interpret the numbers

Carriers can maximize their earnings by heading to states with more outbound loads than inbound ones. This creates a situation where there are more loads than available trucks, leading to higher rates and increased earnings for carriers.

• LOADS OUT represents the number of loads currently in the state that need to be moved.

• LOADS IN represents the number loads that are currently scheduled to go to that state. Since those loads will be hauled by trucks, you can also interpret this number as the number of trucks heading to that state.

• Clicking on any of the headers for State, LOADS IN, or LOADS OUT will sort the list based on your selection.

• Click any of the totals in the LOADS IN or LOADS OUT columns to run a search and display available loads to or from that state.
