1. Open your personal settings

2. Connect your Truckstop account

3. Open the shipment
Open the shipment you want to post.
4. Click the Load boards tab
In the tab bar at the top of the shipment, click Load boards.
5. Open the Post to Truckstop dialog
Click Post to Truckstop. The Post shipment to Truckstop dialog opens with shipment details pre-filled.
6. Review and customize the post details
Review the pre-filled fields and adjust as needed:
Origin and Destination â pre-filled from the shipment stops
Equipment type â pre-filled from freight details
Truck space availability â Full or Partial
Footage
Commodity description â short description of the freight
Weight
Tip â adjusting locations for better reach: If a town is too small or off the beaten path, you can manually change the city's name to a nearby major hub. This increases your search radius and makes your post visible to more carriers.
7. Set contact method
Under Contact method, check how you want carriers to reach you:
Primary phone
Alternate phone
Email
You can select any combination. Carriers viewing your post on Truckstop will see only the contact methods you check.
8. Configure post settings
Under Post settings, toggle on whatever info you want carriers to see:
Share pick-up date & time
Share drop-off date & time
Share trip information
Tracking required â flags the load as requiring driver tracking (polt.ai driver app or equivalent)
Add any specific requirements or "must-knows" for carriers in the notes section.
9. Post the load
Click Next, review the post, and click Post to send it live. The load appears on Truckstop instantly.
10. Manage the post
The Load boards tab now shows your active Truckstop posting with its current status.
Important rules for managing Truckstop postings:
Reference numbers are auto-included. polt.ai reference numbers are automatically attached to every post, so you can easily track which posting led to which booking.
To refresh a post, return to the top of the pile by re-posting from polt.ai.
One broker post limit. For agencies with multiple brokers, the system only allows one broker to post a specific shipment to Truckstop at a time. This prevents duplicate listings on the same load.
