How they work
Define a lane and load type (origin, destination, dates, equipment, weight, rate minimum).
Choose how you want to be notified — email, push notification (iOS app), or both.
The moment a matching load drops, you get pinged.
Tap the alert → open the load → call the broker.
Plan limits
Plan | Load Alert |
Essential | 30 emails per month |
Pro | Unlimited |
Enterprise | Unlimited |
If you're running more than one lane or one truck, Essential's 30/month cap can run out fast — Pro is usually the right call.
Setting up your first alert
Side nav → Load Alerts.
Click + New Alert.
Fill in:
Origin: city, state, ZIP, or radius (e.g., "100 miles of Chicago, IL")
Destination: same
Pickup date range: today, next 7 days, etc.
Equipment: cargo van, Sprinter, box truck (with length)
Weight range
Minimum rate (per mile or flat — your call)
Choose delivery channels.
Save.
Best practices
Set multiple alerts per lane with different rate minimums — a "best case" alert and a "fallback" alert.
Use a tight time window for hot lanes so your inbox doesn't get spammed.
Refresh your alerts weekly to match seasonal demand shifts (use the Profitability Heatmap to guide this).
Turn on push notifications in the iOS app so you can react in real time.
What happens if I exceed Essential's 30/month limit?
You'll stop receiving new alert emails for the rest of the billing cycle. To avoid this, either upgrade to Pro (unlimited) or tighten your alert criteria so only the most valuable loads trigger an email.
