Work your hot shot load board without living on it.
Loady is an AI dispatcher, not another load board. It searches the hot shot loads on the boards you already subscribe to, ranks them by real profit, and gets the broker on the phone — so you can keep the dually moving.
Hot shot doesn't wait. A good partial pops on the board and it's gone in four minutes while you're fueling the dually. So you call Loady once — lane, deck length, your rate floor — and it works the phones on every matching partial and expedited run while you keep both hands on the wheel. No thumbing DAT at the pump. No booking a run that won't clear your fuel and your gooseneck.
The good partials are gone before you see them
Expedited and LTL-style runs move fast. By the time you pull over, unlock your phone, and scroll, the load that fit your deck is already booked by whoever called first.
Non-CDL math is easy to get wrong
Plenty of hot shot rigs run under the CDL weight threshold — but a load that pushes your combined weight over the line costs you more than it pays. That is a mental calc at 70 mph.
Small loads, thin margins
A hot shot run that looks fine on the board can lose money once you back out fuel and deadhead. On short partials there isn't much room to be wrong.
Not a board. A dispatcher that works the one you have.
Loady searches DAT and Truckstop with your own login, ranks what it finds, and gets on the phone. You stay in the driver's seat on every booking.
Ranks by profit per day, not headline rate
Loady scores every matching load on estimated net profit per day — pay minus fuel, empty miles, and drive time — so a $900 partial that runs clean can beat a $1,200 one that deadheads you across the state.
Estimates the rate when pay is not posted
A lot of the hot shot board is 'call for rate.' When pay isn't posted and Loady has a market read for the lane, it drops in an estimate so you know roughly where the load should land before anyone dials.
Calls the broker so you keep driving
The voice AI calls the broker, works your target rate, and holds your floor. If they will not meet it, it moves to the next match and texts you the pickup on the one that does. You approve every booking — Loady never books without you.
Vets the broker before you commit
Every broker is checked against FMCSA plus a quality gate, so you are not chasing a shaky payer for a $700 partial.
What a free hot shot load board actually gets you.
People search 'free hot shot load board' for a reason — the seats aren't cheap. Here's the honest picture, and where Loady fits.
- Truly-free boards exist, but the hot shot and partial volume that actually pays lives on the paid seats (DAT, Truckstop) that brokers post to.
- Free tiers usually hide rates, throttle searches, or show older loads — fine for a look, thin for running a truck full-time.
- Loady is not a free board and does not pretend to be one. It works whichever board you already pay for and squeezes more out of it.
The free part of Loady is the trial: first 3 loads free, no credit card, plus sample mode to try a real search before you connect a board.
Honest requirements. No surprises.
Bring the board seat you already pay for
Loady searches your DAT and Truckstop subscriptions. It is not a board and does not resell load data — it makes the seat you already have work harder.
Try it on sample loads first
No seat yet? Sample mode runs a real Find Loads search on clearly-labeled sample freight so you can see how Loady ranks and explains loads before you connect anything. Booking real freight needs a connected board.
Your authority and a phone
You approve every booking, and first 3 loads free, no credit card — so you can prove it on your own lanes before you commit a dime.
Questions carriers actually ask.
Is Loady a free hot shot load board?
No. Loady is not a load board at all — it's an AI dispatcher that searches the boards you already subscribe to, like DAT and Truckstop. There's no free board hidden inside it. What is free: your first 3 loads, no credit card, and sample mode so you can run a real search before connecting a board.
Do I still need a DAT or Truckstop subscription?
To book real freight, yes — Loady works the seat you already pay for. You can try Loady first on sample loads without any board connected, then plug in your subscription when you are ready to run for real.
Does Loady handle non-CDL hot shot loads?
Loady searches hot shot loads on your board and ranks them by profit. Whether a specific load keeps you under the CDL weight threshold is on you and your rig — Loady surfaces the run and the numbers; you decide if it fits your setup.
Will Loady book a load without asking me?
Never. Loady finds the load, calls the broker, and negotiates to your rate floor — but you approve every booking. Nothing gets committed without your yes.
What does Loady cost?
Pay-as-you-go at $0.50/min for calls, or $49/mo unlimited (about $588/yr). Your first 3 loads are free with no credit card so you can test it on your own lanes first.
One call finds the load, works the broker, and texts you the pickup.
