Couldn't agree more. Loadlink, more than any other technology has changed the dynamic of the trucking industry since its inception. It's original intent was to supply information for both carriers and load brokers to view each others availability and traffic in particular geographical areas. Most carriers back then used it properly, which was to find some "filler" freight when they had capacity with LTL loads, or to find the occasional backhaul from a point that they did not provide regular service to.Loadlink should be a emergency use only tool- to "get the loads" you need good relationships with real customers, be they shippers or brokers. Just my 2c worth.
Frankd, It has happened but not very often. The biggest I've seen is when they upgraded recently. If you are in Ontario it is definitely an advantage. The farther away you are the longer it takes to get the leads. Also, you need your internet to be rapid and you must have Windows 10 in order to use it.Dose the link breakdowns many times?

All I know is that we were informed by Link Logistics that we needed to upgrade to windows 10 before Oct 1st last year or we wouldn't be able to use the new link which is a a little bit of a different location, if we did not do so. On October 1st our regular link up did not work and we followed the new link and it worked just fine after. the system did go down totally a few days later but they got that going again.Mine seems to work perfectly well with Windows 7 (Pro, 64).
Keep well,
Mike

Frankd, if you do only spot market loads to operate, it is essential to have load link (in my personal opinion). Don't let them get you caught up in the 'TOTAL FULL PACKAGE' though.
