been on cargado for the last 3 months and have not seen any cross border matches yet. Too many substandard brokers and open to way too many driver inc carriers

Will you send me an email? Would love to get your feedback. I just wrote about Driver Inc: https://www.congratsonalltheprogress.com/p/driver-inc-the-canadian-trucking
A good portion of the brokers in our network are in the top 100 in the industry and have great pay terms...

Nice article. I particularly loved the Tim Hortons in the picture. Another exploiter.

Excellent article that describes the problem in a concise and thoughtful manner. Carriers and brokers should show this article to prospective customers when submitting your quotes. If a shipper is serious about “comparing apples to apples” in their bid system, then they should be made aware of the unfair advantage a company using the Driver Inc model has over the competition, and the possible repercussions it could have for them.

Happy to send you an email - I've also asked the same question of some of your Canadian team a few weeks ago as well with the kind of answer that demonstrated a disconnect between the business plan and the article (great article), just disconnected from the business reality.
Truth is, I want nothing more than for Cargado to succeed as a platform, but...
Curious how everyone is feeling about the Loadlink price increase, yet again? Is DAT lower in price? We have had to update our operating software which has resulted in another $500/month increase, now Loadlink, next will be Insurance. Just looking for an affordable load board for a small carrier. $1000.00/month for Loadlink is not the option.

We got notice today as well, text from the email is below. I left out the price increase details incase it is proprietary; I dont want to violate their terms of service and get cut off since they are the only viable load board in Canada

just got the email as well, and not impressed. They have been steady to roll out these price increases over the last year. Might have to go back the rollerdex.

You are showing your age, I bet many people here don't know what a rolodex is.
Just wait until the younger members of the forum find out that DAT is an acronym and its meaning
