A load board is not a trucking website
A load board is where a carrier looks for a load. A website is where the broker looks up the carrier after the call. They do different jobs. Motus sells the website and the company email. We do not sell a load board, a bidding bot, or a seat on someone else's board.
What the board already did
The board introduced the load. It did not introduce a company a shipper can trust next year. After the call, someone searches the DOT, then searches the name. A site that loads, a phone that matches, and an email on the domain are the answer to that search. A board profile with a Gmail address is a thin answer.
Brokers who post freight are not required by FMCSA to demand a website. Many still ask. The ask is commercial. The registration, if you need it, stays on motus.dot.gov.
What people try to buy by mistake
Some shops sell a monthly 'dispatch package' and call the login a website. Read what you own. Our packages are one time: $274, $597, or $1,197. You own the site. Hosting after year one is $150 a year. There is no monthly website retainer and no load-board subscription inside those numbers.
If you want software that posts trucks or parses load offers, say so. That is a scope, with a price we write down. It is not Starter.
Use both, and do not confuse them
Keep the board for freight. Use the site for the company story: equipment, lanes, the USDOT if it is yours, and how to tender. Use dispatch@ for the paperwork the board message should have been. When the board account closes, the domain is still yours.
A broker's own site is a different page from a carrier's. If you are the one posting loads, use the broker page. Do not describe a board login as a brokerage.
- The board finds today's load
- The site answers 'who is this carrier'
- The domain email carries the rate confirmation
- You own the site after the package price
- A load board is not included, and not implied
Buy the website package that matches the company. Keep paying the board you already use, to the company that actually sells it.
The package
Starter is $274, Growth is $597, and Authority is $1,197. Each price is one time. Year-1 hosting is included, then hosting is $150 a year. Company email on your domain is part of a transportation launch. A mailbox-provider seat fee and a registrar's domain fee are quoted before they start. The breakdown is on what a trucking website costs.

Questions
- Do you include a DAT or Truckstop login?
- No. Those are their products. We will not resell a login, and we will not ask for yours.
- Can the site show the loads I want?
- It can describe lanes. A live list of someone else's freight is a load board, and it is not this package.
- Will a website replace the board?
- No. Carriers who depend on posted freight still need a place to find it. The site is the company, not the search screen.
- What if I only broker and never haul?
- Then you need the broker site, with a door for shippers and a door for carriers. You still do not need us to sell you a board.
