Find and Secure the Perfect Load
Choosing the right loads is one of the most important decisions for auto transport carriers. The loads you accept determine your routes, revenue, and truck utilization. Ship.Cars helps carriers find available loads quickly using search tools, smart filters, and capacity-matching technology. Our goal is simple: connect you with the right loads at the right time.
The Market Loadboard is built directly into the SmartHaul TMS and SmartHaul mobile app, creating a fully integrated workflow for carriers and dispatchers. Browse available loads, build trips, and estimate profitability without switching between systems. Save preferred lanes and receive loads that match your routes and vehicle capacity. Thousands of loads are posted on the Ship.Cars platform every day, giving carriers a steady stream of opportunities.

Find the right loads!
Browsing loads should be simple and efficient
- Our Search Along Route feature shows loads that match your planned route. This gives carriers better visibility into opportunities along their trip.
- Save preferred lanes and quickly see loads that match your routes and equipment. Act quickly to secure high-value loads as soon as they appear.
See loads before others do
Many loads posted on the Ship.Cars loadboard are exclusive to the platform or available exclusively for a limited time. This gives carriers early access to opportunities before they appear on other marketplaces.
Browse loads and capture profitable shipments before the competition.
Plan loads before committing
Not every load that matches your search is the right fit. With Trip Builder, carriers can add “load candidates” to a trip before accepting them. This allows dispatchers to evaluate how a load fits within a route based on distance, detours, and expected profitability.
Let artificial intelligence assist your load search.
Load Scout analyzes your preferences, routes, and market activity to recommend loads that fit your business.

Our drivers love it! Not only because they can quickly find all they need, right inside the Driver ePOD app, but the level of claim protection also saves them money. Every driver has different order requirements but when it comes to dispatching, using Ship.Cars knocks my work in half!

We have been using the Ship.Cars load board for almost a year now and find it very user friendly. Dispatching is as easy as a few clicks of the mouse, and no unnecessary phone calls back and forth with Carriers. The entire support team at Ship.Cars has been phenomenal, with fast and efficient responses to all our questions. I would highly recommend Ship.Cars!

If I have to use one word to describe what Ship.Cars helped our business to become, it’s organized. Everything is now in a single place—documentation, contacts, order info, payments, damages, pictures, mileage. Whatever I need, I know it’s right inside the order so I don’t have to spend time looking for it over emails or texts.

Instant book has been one of the best features we can use. There are times where a cancellation occurs after most companies are closed, and we were saved by the instant book feature, allowing us to save time by not having a driver wait for another vehicle and have something he can go pick up right away, avoiding delays and frustration by the customers if the other vehicles are already loaded and scheduled.

We’re glad we decided to use Ship.Cars and more importantly our customers are more than satisfied. The dispatch abilities are very advanced, demonstrating the best of today’s standards–exactly what we need as a fast-paced logistics company. Best of all, the Ship.Cars team takes time to listen to our ideas on how to improve the platform. This alone is priceless. Thanks Ship.Cars!

FAQs
How do carriers find loads using Ship.Cars?
Ship.Cars offers carriers multiple ways to find loads. Use simple search or Search Along Route to discover loads that fit your trip, including opportunities between your origin and destination. You can also save preferred lanes and get notified when matching loads appear. For a more automated approach, Load Scout learns your activity and prioritizes loads that align with your routes, equipment, and typical pricing.
What makes the Ship.Cars load board different?
The Ship.Cars loadboard is fully integrated into the Smarthaul TMS and driver app, which means you can search, evaluate, and plan loads in one place. Many loads are also exclusive or time-restricted, giving carriers early access to opportunities before they appear elsewhere.
Can carriers negotiate loads directly through the platform?
Yes. Ship.Cars allows carriers to negotiate digitally with brokers and shippers. They can submit offers, adjust pricing, and agree on terms such as payment and scheduling without relying on phone calls or manual follow-ups.
How can a carrier tell if a load is actually worth booking?
Not every load that looks good on paper fits your trip. With Trip Builder, you can add “load candidates” before committing and see how they fit alongside other shipments. This helps you evaluate distance, detours, and profitability before you accept a load.
What are load suggestions and how do they work?
Ship.Cars uses tools like Load Scout to recommend loads based on your activity, preferred lanes, and market conditions. Instead of manually searching, you can review suggested loads that are more likely to match your routes and business needs.
How does Ship.Cars help carriers secure better loads faster?
By combining search, negotiation, trip planning, and load recommendations in one platform, Ship.Cars reduces the time it takes to go from browsing to booking. Carriers can identify the right loads, evaluate them in context, and act quickly before opportunities are gone.
