Who is carrier access for?

It is for owner-operators and small fleets that want to work toward direct shipper freight opportunities while keeping control of lanes, rates, equipment, approvals, and freight money.

Can carriers use the shipper database?

Approved carriers can use the carrier-side workflow to search shipper opportunities, organize contact notes, approve lanes, track documents, and manage the freight operation around direct shipper outreach.

Does Equitable book loads without carrier approval?

No. The carrier controls equipment, lanes, rate floor, outreach authorization, load approval, and final booking decisions.

Is this a free shipper list for truckers?

No. It is a controlled nationwide shipper database inside a compliance-first freight operations system, not a public free list or unmanaged spreadsheet.

Does Equitable guarantee direct shipper loads?

No. Equitable provides database access, workflow tools, training direction, documents, and compliance controls. It does not guarantee freight, rates, lanes, contracts, carrier signups, or income.

Carrier path selector

Do you want dispatch support, or do you want to self-dispatch using the system?

Choose based on who will perform the daily research, calls, follow-up, load entry, documents, and tracking. The carrier keeps control of equipment, lanes, rates, authority, freight money, outreach authorization, and every final load decision in both paths.

You use the approved carrier portal directly to search, log outreach, approve and enter loads, manage documents, and track closeout.

Best for carriers who want to perform the workflow themselves
Current fee is 4% of linehaul on booked carrier self-dispatch loads
Fuel surcharge and approved accessorial charges are excluded from the fee base
Carrier does not receive dispatcher-only FMCSA generator access

Side-by-side comparison

The carrier stays in control in both models.

The difference is who performs the daily operating work—not who controls the truck, authority, money, or final booking decision.
