Posting Freight
Everything you need to post loads and lanes on Cargado's marketplace — from choosing the right posting type to configuring equipment, setting rates, and maximizing carrier engagement.
</aside>
Posting freight is how you get your loads in front of vetted carriers on Cargado's cross-border marketplace. Whether you're covering spot freight, building routing guides, or testing the market on freight you're trying to win, there's a posting type designed for how you actually work.
What brokers use posting for:
The key distinction is whether you own the freight (already awarded to you) or you're trying to win it (still competing for the business). Getting this right protects your reputation with carriers — they expect owned freight to be real and bookable.
The posting form guides you through everything from internal identifiers to equipment requirements and rate settings. Enable Instant Response to automate negotiation and get 2x more bids.
Cargado supports a wide range of equipment types for cross-border and domestic freight. Selecting multiple equipment types expands your carrier reach — for example, Dry Van + Reefer with unit off.
