I absolutely hate Loadlink. I want another Canadian loadboard to put these guys out of business or at least give them strong competition. Their customer reps are rude and unprofessional every time you call them for anything. We couldn’t even work from anywhere else except our office, and if we ever did, we had to explain to them the reason for remote access like we owed them something. At this point, they are just milking the carriers with the most basic information at a premium price. They have been bumping their prices every year because they know that they really don’t have any competition.
We got in a situation where they were showing an inactive MC/USDOT as active in their system for over a month. I filed a complaint, and they dodged every call and email until they could solve the issue. It took them almost 2 months to remove that carrier from the board.
I am seriously looking to partner with someone who is willing to create a more logical and cost-effective loadboard to give these crooks a competition. I cannot stand them!

I believe there are already two new boards, one is called LoadFusion although I've not personally used it much. https://loadfusion.ca

There is another 1 called Cargado.
I haven't personally used it but some of my fellow colleagues have.

There has been a lot of interest in an alternate board but each time one starts up, nobody jumps on or if they do, they look once or twice and say there are no loads, not trucks, and no options.
The fact remains that LoadLink is a quazi division of DAT. That setup gives tons of visibility across the whole North America transportation space with decades of history and buy-in from almost everyone and anyone in the industry. Every large broker automatically feeds the machine with all their loads giving the impression of freight.
For a newcomer to come in, they need buy-in from most in the industry and most are not willing to spend more than one or two looks at it. If 1000 carriers and brokers start with an alternate but only look at it once or twice and put up a load or two, or a truck or two, over two weeks, it will NEVER be successful. It needs to quickly ramp up to 25000 subscribers who use it all day every day for it to be even a touch effective.
Loadlink has that subscriber base and it gives results. Getting to that subscriber base has been proven at least a dozen times that the new entrant cannot outlast the time it takes to get there.
All-Pro Carriers LLC - anyone experience these guys on the link? We had a strange experience on the link today, where they have several postings. We booked with them, but then their email to get them set up looked suspicious, so we asked them about it telling them they would have to send the info a different way because we are showing their email as compromised. Minutes later, all their postings disappeared.
If you're talking about MC441463, I'd be careful.
The information on MOTUS is all over the place with nothing consistent.
USDOT says ACTIVE but no company officials???
OA shows ACTIVE but Insurance is PENDING and future dated????
Status Reason is DISCONTINUED REVOCATION???
Looks like MOTUS is broken on this one.
