Trucker Path, the mobile app for North American commercial truck drivers, announced it has joined a newly launched load posting aggregation service provider, LoadBoard Network. With this integration, the approximately 1 million active carriers using Trucker Path and its TruckLoads digital freight exchange will have access to larger pools of carriers, brokers, and shippers for matching capacity with loads.
“Through the LoadBoard Network, Trucker Path users can access hundreds of thousands of loads daily,” said Jeff Ogren, SVP of business development and strategy for Trucker Path.

“Load boards are still the preferred means of matching empty capacity with available loads. Making the LoadBoard Network part of the Trucker Path ecosystem gives our users access to a much larger pool of reliable carriers, brokers, and shippers through a seamless digital booking experience. With this integration, we’re helping them improve utilization and find more loads more efficiently.”
LoadBoard Network automates load posting to a network of dozens of independent load boards and carrier applications simultaneously. For Trucker Path mobile app users, it provides an opportunity to match their capacity with available loads by going beyond just the industry’s largest load boards.
“By joining our load posting aggregation service, Trucker Path users will now have more choices,” said Mark Draeb, president of LoadBoard Network and previously a co-founder of the PostEverywhere load-posting service. “It will provide Trucker Path carriers with more freight-hauling opportunities and makes capacity available to our broker and shipper customers. I've worked with Trucker Path for years. I look at this partnership as getting the band back together, we’re just using new and improved instruments.”
