Why check a load before I call?

Ghost posts, missing dimensions, and incomplete rates waste phone and drive time. A short checklist filters junk so you only dial loads that can work for your truck.

Do my checklist answers get uploaded?

No. Checklist state stays in your browser on this device only. Nothing is uploaded when you tick boxes.

Is the before-you-call checklist free?

Yes — no signup, no card. Use it with the free rate calculator and Safety Center before you roll.

Check the load before you burn a phone call.

Ghost posts and incomplete rates waste evenings. Run this checklist, then use the short script. Save your time for real freight — and for home.

0 of 8 checked

Equipment, weight, and dimensions match my truck (not “probably”).
Pickup window / appointment is specific — not “ASAP sometime.”
Rate is all-in or I know what is excluded (fuel, tolls, lumper, wait).
I know empty miles to pickup and have run true all-in math.
Loading help and site conditions are clear (dock, forklift, residential).
I checked broker/carrier identity (MC/DOT, reviews, days-to-pay habit).
No pressure to roll without a rate confirmation in writing.
If this is thin money and long hours, walking away is allowed.

Phone script (copy & paste)

Hi — I'm available with [equipment] near [city]. Please confirm: pickup window, weight, dimensions, loading help, site conditions, and all-in rate. I need a rate confirmation in writing before I head that way. Thanks.

Common questions

Why check before I call?

Ghost posts, missing dimensions, and “rate TBD” waste drive time and family time. A two-minute checklist filters junk so you only dial loads that can actually work for your truck.

Do my checks get uploaded?

No. Checklist state stays in your browser (local storage on this device only). Nothing is sent to our servers when you tick boxes.

What should I confirm on the phone?

Pickup window, weight, dimensions, loading help, site conditions, and all-in rate — then a rate confirmation in writing before you deadhead. The script on this page is a starting template.

Is this checklist free?

Yes — no signup. Pair it with the free rate calculator and DOT verification guide before you roll.
