Once you are approved, you will have access to our platform. There you will see shipments available for either booking or for bidding.

BOOKING: Shipper has a car or truck and received instant rates and accepted the price displayed. You will have access to those loads to build a route. Once accepted, it cannot be taken by another transporter.

BIDDING: Loads that are posted that cannot be instantly rated or if a shipper has time to get bids, you will be able to post questions about the load (contact information or rate discussions are not permitted) as well as blind bid.

No. All loads listed and available on Motherload app are from customers who are looking for transportation rates.

Motherload is a digital clearinghouse and does not operate in any broker capacity and acts as an intermediary between a buyer and seller and seeks to ensure that the process from trade inception to settlement is smooth.

Our main role is to make certain that the shipper and transporter honor their contract obligations

Motherload does not handle transporter payments. When bidding, you should list how you would like to get paid as well as list it on your transporter profile.

All payments are private between the shipper and transporter. In the event our support staff have to get involved with payment disputes, shipper and transporters accounts may be placed on hold.

Motherload does not charge a membership fee to transporters.

The proprietary Motherload platform, which connects shippers and carriers with the carrier’s needs in mind, saves a great deal of time for everyone concerned. We do not allow brokers to transport on our website. By doing so, we allow a higher rate per mile on auto and truck transport.

Other benefits include:

Motherload was founded by logistics professionals. We are not software people. We have been in the trenches for years as either drivers, transporters or agents for brokerages. We know that cutting out brokers and allowing more per mile to get to the transporters is a novel idea that we have been founded on.

Feature rich platform. Motherload offers the ability for on site inspections prior to pick up including photo uploads. This helps avoid delivery issues that pertains to damages or claims of damage. Simple check-in on our app for shippers to know where their load is every step of the way.

Exclusive Carrier Load Board for finding appropriate loads. Carriers can quickly filter and sort loads by location, shipment type, load/unload method, and special requirements; and to view details about each load. This helps carriers find the loads that are best-suited to their expertise and rate accordingly

Yes. We have a feedback section for the shippers to rate you and your services. Shippers will be able to see your rating, feedback as well as past loads you managed.

As you grow your book of business, it will be available for shippers to see the good or the bad. If you have multiple cancellations or negative reviews, you can be removed from our platform

Motherload wants to be the go-to for fair rated loads as well as offer transporters the ability to streamline their routing and load match during transit.

Motherload’s logistics experts are available to you at every point within the process. They will answer your questions and help you handle any complexities that may arise.

Brokers are not allowed to transport. Brokers can list loads for bid

Transporters may have certain requirements for managing transportation. If you would like to add a feature to your account, please contact our development team: dev@motherload.app

Did you think of an idea that should be available for all users? Please don’t hesitate to let us know. We want to make this a community for transporters and know without you, we would be dead in the water.

MOTHERLOAD IS NOT AN AUCTION BASED BIDDING SITE

All bids are blind. No other transporter will know what your bid amount is. If a load shows as available and rate approved (or bid submitted), your bid amount visible to the shipper will include our service fee.

When a bid is accepted, the shipper will pay the service fee and then contact information will be released to transporter and shipper to arrange pick up
