You can search for freight by origin, destination, radius miles, weight, truckload or less-than-truckload freight, equipment type, and more! Our load board updates in near real-time, so you’ll get a notification when we find a new load that matches your criteria. You can save searches you want to come back to by clicking "save search" above the search filter area.

Freight is posted to NextLOAD through integrations with TMS providers. To apply to post loads on NextLOAD, fill out the form on this page to get in touch with our team.

NextLOAD integrates with:

• AscendTMS
• Navigator TMS
• McLeod Software
• TransportPro
• Strategy Systems
• Tailwind Transportation Software

Launched in 2014, NextLOAD was designed to provide truckers and carriers with a user-friendly platform to find real, active loads. On NextLOAD, quality loads are posted through TMS integrations from more than 14 trusted partners, including Ascend, LoadBoard Network, McLeod, Navigator, TransportPro, and more. If you use any of these TMS systems, we can connect your account to post automatically, just call us (844-827-7700 or send us an email to support@nextload.com).

To arrange to haul a load or learn more about an available load, contact the broker or shipper directly. Click on a posted load to open the load details. There, you’ll find more information about the freight and the contact information for the broker or shipper who posted it.

On the load details screen, there is a map of the route. For Apex factoring clients using NextLOAD, this screen will also show all the truck stops along the route where you can get discounts on fuel. You can get a TCS Fuel Card and get access to fuel discounts and the fuel finder. Learn more about our fuel card program.

You can sign up for the TCS Fuel Card program that will give you substantial discounts on fuel at major truck stops nationwide. Learn more and get started here.

Most of the available freight on NextLOAD is general freight, but brokers and shippers can post special loads if available. You can find cargo van loads, reefer loads, flatbed loads, auto hauler loads, heavy hauler loads, hot shot loads, hopper loads and many other types of freight for different equipment. Use the "Equipment" search filter to select various types of freight and narrow your search.

If a broker or shipper has established credit with Apex Capital, a freight factoring company, a small blue chevron will appear in the "credit" column. To get more detailed credit information, become an Apex client.

Newly available loads are automatically updated in near real-time. Unlike other load boards, we don't charge you extra for this feature.

Yes. We take loads down every night that expired that day, so you don't have to worry about irrelevant loads cluttering up the list. Loads listed might already be booked, but we do allow the broker or shipper to manage posted loads and remove them.

Not every broker or shipper puts a rate with the available loads they post because they want you to call them directly to negotiate a rate and determine if you want to haul the freight for them.

On the Sign-in page, click "Forgot Password?" below the password box. Enter your email address and you'll receive an email with instructions to reset your password.

There is one account per email address. We cannot create multiple users per email account. With different email addresses, you can create as many free freight searching accounts as you would like!

The age of an available load is how long ago the load was posted to NextLOAD. Available loads refresh in near real-time, so the age will go from seconds to minutes, hours, days, weeks and months.

If you want to get your own operating authority and start your own trucking company, the Apex Startup Program is what you need!

Apex clients should log in to NextLOAD with their Apex website credentials or log in directly to the Apex factoring site and navigate to NextLOAD from the dashboard.
