Load Connex Automatic Load Matching - Smarter, Faster, and More Profitable for Freight Brokers

Intelligent ELD-Driven Carrier Mapping

The process begins when a freight broker adds their trusted carriers into Load Connex.
Each carrier connects its ELD, which takes only seconds since Load Connex supports integrations with over 50 ELD providers across North America.

Once connected, Load Connex continuously analyzes ELD movement data to build internal operating-area models that run quietly in the background.
The broker doesn’t see distracting graphics, only clear, ranked carrier matches generated from these data patterns.

Using these internal models, the system learns each carrier’s typical lanes, pickup and delivery points, and directional patterns, and continuously updates and refines this knowledge as new load data and movement information are received.
Because carriers frequently change their lanes, for example when they pick up a new customer in Nebraska and now need backhauls from that region, Load Connex’s algorithms detect these shifts automatically.
Within hours or days, the system adapts its logic to reflect the carrier’s new behavior, ensuring brokers are always matching loads against the most current operating patterns.

Smart Pattern Recognition and Load Matching Through the Private Marketplace

When the broker posts a load into their Private Marketplace, Load Connex immediately identifies which carriers are best suited for that shipment.
The Private Marketplace only solicits carriers that the broker already knows and has vetted, ensuring bids come from trusted partners and not random carriers from public load boards.

However, brokers aren’t limited to the marketplace approach.
They can also assign loads directly to a chosen carrier at any time, giving them the flexibility to use either direct dispatching or competitive bidding depending on the situation.

Load Connex even supports users who operate as both broker and carrier, allowing them to manage their own fleet trucks alongside partner carriers, all within the same unified platform.

Beyond simple geography, the system analyzes multiple data points:

1. Backhaul vs. headhaul opportunities that help carriers quote more competitive rates
2. Load density and historical routes to predict where trucks are likely headed next
3. Equipment type, safety record, and past performance to ensure reliability and compliance

These algorithms allow brokers to reach only the most relevant and available carriers for each shipment with no spam blasts and no wasted calls.

Targeted Carrier Bidding - a Reverse Load Board

Unlike traditional load boards where carriers hunt for freight, Load Connex works like a reverse load board - the load finds the carrier.

The system automatically invites the most qualified carriers from the broker’s Private Marketplace to bid and encourages counter-bids in real time.
If a carrier’s bid isn’t the most competitive, they’re notified and can sharpen their pencil to stay in the running.
This transparency fosters healthy competition and helps brokers secure better rates while rewarding reliable carriers.

Because the vast majority of carriers are small fleets or owner-operators, Load Connex was built to communicate the way they do - through both email and text.
Carriers can receive load offers and submit bids directly by SMS, simply replying with a number (for example, typing “1500” to bid $1,500).
This lightweight approach makes participation easy even for small carriers on the road, driving higher engagement and faster responses without requiring them to log into a portal.

Tracking and Fraud Prevention

Once a carrier accepts a load, Load Connex begins live tracking using the carrier’s connected ELD data.
This direct integration provides verified, tamper-resistant movement data and reduces the risk of double brokering, ghost trucks, or spoofed tracking, which are common issues in traditional freight visibility systems.

While smartphone-based tracking can serve as a backup, Load Connex minimizes its use since mobile GPS data can be spoofed.
However, for legitimate carriers who are ELD-exempt, such as short-haul or older-equipment operators, Load Connex offers both Android and iOS tracking apps to fill that gap.
This hybrid approach maintains visibility while prioritizing the most secure and verifiable tracking method available.

Carrier Scoring and Reliability

Every carrier in Load Connex is continuously rated on:

1. On-time delivery performance
2. Length of time in business
3. Safety and inspection history
4. Load completion record

In addition, brokers can rate their carriers directly after each shipment.
These broker-submitted ratings automatically feed into the carrier’s overall performance profile, increasing or decreasing its standing in future load recommendations.
This human-in-the-loop feedback ensures the system reflects both real-world experience and objective operational data, leading to a more trustworthy and accurate scoring process.

A Cost-Efficient Alternative to Legacy Visibility Tools

Load Connex delivers capabilities that go beyond tracking-only platforms yet at a more cost-efficient price point.
Built specifically for freight brokers, it combines visibility, carrier management, and pricing optimization in a single, intuitive system.
