What to check before you choose
- Compare what each tier includes: rate data, broker credit and days-to-pay, and the number of searches or alerts.
- Check the broker credit and payment info before booking. It matters more than a few cents per mile.
- See whether the board offers book-now loads in your lanes and equipment type.
- Watch for monthly vs. annual pricing and auto-renewal.
