Getting Started

Welcome to CargoVans

Understand how CargoVans works and how to get the most from a fast-moving freight market.

CargoVans is built for carriers who need to find freight quickly, evaluate opportunities confidently, and keep moving. This guide will help you understand the platform and develop a repeatable approach to finding and booking loads.

What this guide will help you do

The goal is not simply to show you where buttons are. It is to help you make better decisions when freight is moving quickly. You will learn how to find fresh loads, evaluate the complete trip, prepare offers, communicate with brokers, and think about where your next load may come from.

  • Find and filter loads that fit your vehicle and operating area.
  • Understand why load freshness matters in a fast-moving market.
  • Evaluate rate, distance, deadhead, timing, and other trip factors together.
  • Prepare clear and complete offers for brokers.
  • Build a daily workflow that keeps you focused on the best opportunities.

Freight moves quickly

CargoVans focuses on recent freight. A load that looks attractive now may not be available later, so checking the Loadboard regularly and acting quickly when an opportunity fits your operation is important.

A simple way to approach the Loadboard

  1. 1Scan the newest opportunities.
  2. 2Filter out loads that do not fit your vehicle, location, or operating plan.
  3. 3Evaluate the complete trip instead of looking only at the advertised rate.
  4. 4Act when the opportunity makes sense for your business.

Think beyond one load

A good load is not only about what you earn on the current trip. Consider where it takes you, how much unpaid driving it creates, and what opportunities may be available after delivery.
