Post Freight in Canada and Connect With Qualified Carriers
For Canadian shippers and freight brokers
Post Freight in Canada and Connect With Truck Capacity
Make your shipment visible through the Logistware Canadian Load Board with the details carriers need to decide whether the freight fits.
Enter the origin, destination, commodity, equipment, weight and timing. Participating carriers can review the shipment and respond when the load fits their equipment and operating plan.
The clearer the shipment is, the easier it is for transportation providers to determine whether their truck, equipment, lane and schedule fit the move.
Freight posting
What does it mean to post freight?
Posting freight means publishing an available shipment on a load board so participating carriers can evaluate the transportation opportunity.
Instead of relying only on calls, emails or an existing carrier list, a shipper or freight broker can enter the shipment once with the information transportation providers need to review the move.
The posting does not guarantee a carrier, price or response. It creates another way to make the freight visible to transportation capacity.

Build a useful posting
Information carriers need before responding
- Origin and destination: actual shipment locations and relevant facility details.
- Commodity: what is being transported and how it is packaged.
- Weight and dimensions: information needed to determine physical and legal fit.
- Equipment type: dry van, reefer, flatbed, LTL or another specific requirement.
- Pickup and delivery: appointment times, windows and flexibility.
- Special conditions: temperature, border, securement, permits or facility requirements when applicable.
Beyond the posting
Keep the shipment connected after a carrier responds
Review bids
Compare carrier responses against the same lane, equipment, timing and service requirements.
Complete due diligence
Verify the carrier, authority, insurance and shipment-specific requirements appropriate to your business.
Award the load
Confirm the transportation provider and commercial terms when both parties agree on the movement.
Communicate
Keep pickup, delivery and exception communication closer to the active freight workflow.
Track freight
Maintain shipment visibility through the movement when tracking is enabled for the awarded load.
Exchange documents
Keep BOLs, PODs, shipment images and other relevant files associated with the transportation record.
Freight equipment
Post the equipment requirement that matches the real shipment
Domestic and international lanes
Post Canadian and Canada–U.S. freight
Domestic shipments may move locally, between cities, across provinces or on longer Canadian lanes. Use the posting to make the exact route and equipment requirement clear.
For Canada–U.S. freight, include enough information for a carrier to understand that the movement is cross-border. The appropriate parties remain responsible for customs, operating authority, driver eligibility, documentation and commodity-specific requirements.
Carrier selection
Platform access does not replace your carrier-selection process
Logistware uses a registration and review process as an additional safeguard for access to the load board. Shippers and freight brokers should still verify the transportation provider according to their own contractual, insurance, authority and shipment-specific requirements.
The best carrier for one shipment may not be the best fit for another. Make the decision from current information and the actual freight.
