Load boards are the bread and butter of car shipping, and are absolutely necessary for new Carriers looking to find their first loads. The simplicity of load boards allow users to find loads online, link up with Shippers, and start earning money hauling cars. That being said, not all load boards are built equally.
Even though older load boards have a high quantity of loads and car haulers in their marketplace, they certainly have their fair share of shortcomings. One major downside of older load boards is their distinct lack of pricing tools.
When requesting and negotiating load prices, users have no options for negotiating within these older load boards – Carriers have to spend hours of their time reaching out to Shippers directly via outside communication methods. And on the Shipper side, it isn’t any better – the lack of a built-in price negotiation tool results in countless phone calls and emails, which wastes everyone’s time.
Luckily, there is a price negotiation tool built directly into Super Loadboard. Here’s a quick rundown of the benefits of the price negotiation feature, and why you need it.
Saves Time
Super Loadboard has a built-in price negotiation feature, which allows Carriers to send offers to Shippers for loads. Similarly to Ebay’s “Best Offer” feature, you can request to take a load for a higher price than listed, which Shippers will then have the choice to either accept, reject, or send a counter offer.
This is great not only because of the added convenience that it provides, but also because it saves quite a lot of time for both parties. Price negotiation allows Carriers to send offers to Shippers directly through the Super Loadboard, and benefits Shippers as they’ll no longer be bombarded with countless phone calls and emails from various Carriers which they normally would have to sift through one by one, for potentially several hours.
Get the Best Deal
Super Loadboard’s price negotiation feature is also a great way for you to find a great deal. Whether you’re a broker or dealer looking to ship your loads for a fair price or a car hauler interested in getting the best rate possible for your services, the ability to negotiate prices benefits all parties involved. It allows Carriers to request however much they want for a load, while Shippers can easily view all of their offers in one place and select the best one out of the bunch.
Helps Build a Network
Cutting deals with other users via price negotiations also serves as a great way to potentially forge partnerships with others, and can help to build your network within the marketplace. By negotiating and doing great work for others on the platform, you can potentially create long term partnerships with other Shippers or Carriers, and eventually utilize the preferred Carrier feature.
Preferred Carriers are any Carriers who have proven themselves to be trustworthy and hardworking, and Shippers have the ability to mark any of their Carriers as preferred at any given time. They benefit from being able to book loads instantly, which benefits both parties significantly. As a result, utilizing the price negotiation feature is important, as it can serve as a stepping stone to moving cars even faster in the future.
