Couriers"R"Us Courier Directory - Load Boards are websites that specialize in providing available freight and back loads to be shipped. Visitors (public and business) place items with pick up and destination details along with size of items and vehicle needed. A freight consignment is placed on the board and the customer is able to choose for example the cheapest or most suitable haulage trucking company or individual contractor to do the job of delivering the goods. A bidding auction system is often used. Load boards generally charge a monthly fee to access shipment details.
