HaulBoard
An AI freight load board that matches every open load to the best-fit carrier, prices each lane on live spot-rate data, and tracks broker margin on every move.
// The Load Board — 128 open loads, a Chicago→Dallas spot-rate trend with a market band, and each row carrying its AI rate, best-match carrier, and coverage status.
Overview
HaulBoard gives a freight brokerage desk a single board to price, match, and cover freight. It scores every open load against the carrier network, prices the lane on live spot-rate data with a target margin and a floor, and ranks carriers by lane history, equipment fit, deadhead, and reliability — then surfaces the broker margin on each move. BuildspaceLabs designed and built the MVP front end: a live Load Board for whole-desk triage and a per-load detail view with a route line, a full rate breakdown, and ranked AI carrier matches — turning a spot-pricing model and a stream of load and carrier signals into a workflow a dispatcher can act on in minutes.
Highlights
- Prices every lane on live spot-rate data instead of a stale rate sheet
- Ranks carriers by fit — lane history, equipment, deadhead, and reliability — not phone tag
- Shows carrier pay, shipper rate, and broker margin on every move
- Explains the number: each rate breaks down into linehaul, fuel, accessorials, and margin
