Freight shipping for businesses

Need to ship freight? Find a trucking company for your load.

Looking for a shipping company to move a commercial load? The Driver Link helps U.S. manufacturers, distributors and businesses shipping their own goods connect with trucking carriers. Describe where your freight needs to go, the pickup date and equipment needed. After business verification, post your load free so eligible carriers can request the job and discuss shipping details with you.

Direct shippers and manufacturers must complete business verification before posting. Carrier eligibility and availability vary. The Driver Link is not a freight broker or an ocean shipping line.

Freight shipping options for your business

Post freight with the details carriers need

List the pickup and delivery locations, dates, total rate, equipment and cargo requirements. Your business is reviewed before you can post loads; direct shipper registration and load posting are free after approval.

Discuss the shipment directly

Participating carriers can review a suitable load and request it. Your shipping team can discuss schedules, route, equipment and price directly with a carrier before confirming the shipment.

Full truckload, dry van, reefer and flatbed shipping

Need full truckload (FTL) transportation for finished products, raw materials or other business freight? Describe your dry van, refrigerated (reefer), flatbed or other truck equipment needs. Eligible motor carriers can review the load and request it if they serve the lane and have appropriate equipment.

Discuss a freight shipping rate with a carrier

To request a shipping price, enter the pickup and delivery cities, cargo weight, truck type and pickup window. Include your offered freight rate and negotiate terms directly with interested carriers. The Driver Link does not currently provide guaranteed instant freight quotes or promise the lowest price.

Questions shippers often ask

How do I find a trucking company to move my freight?

Create a shipper or manufacturer account, complete verification and post the shipment on The Driver Link. Verified carriers can request loads that match their equipment and service areas.

I need to ship my freight. How do I get started?

Register as a shipper or manufacturer, complete business verification, and post your pickup and delivery locations, dates, freight description, equipment type and offered rate. Eligible trucking companies can request your posted load.

Can my business find a freight shipping company for a full truckload?

You can post a full truckload (FTL) shipment with its equipment and cargo details. Qualified carriers decide whether to request it, and you can discuss price and scheduling directly. Truck availability is not guaranteed.

How do I get a freight shipping quote or find out what shipping will cost?

On The Driver Link, a verified shipper posts the shipment with an offered rate and speaks directly with eligible carriers about the price. Freight cost depends on the lane, load weight, equipment, timing and carrier availability. We do not currently issue instant price quotes.

Is shipper registration free?

Yes. After manual business verification, eligible manufacturers and direct shippers can post loads without a shipper membership fee.

What freight equipment can I request?

The platform includes dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, power-only, hotshot and specialized car-hauling categories, subject to eligible carrier equipment and availability.

What should a shipping manager include in a freight load posting?

Include origin and destination, pickup and delivery windows, freight description, weight and dimensions, equipment required, handling or temperature needs, and the total rate you offer. Confirm special dock or appointment requirements with the carrier before booking.

Does The Driver Link guarantee a carrier or freight rate?

No. Carriers decide whether to request available freight, and the shipper and carrier agree on a rate directly. The Driver Link does not guarantee truck availability, pricing or delivery time.
