Our take
For a new owner-operator, the Authority Age Filter saves calls to brokers who won't take a young authority, and brokers filter the same way on their side. Loads match your operating authority, so intrastate-only carriers see intrastate loads.
Pick the plan by the tools you'll use. Book It Now comes with Advanced and Pro on all-equipment plans and with Pro on dry van and reefer plans. All-equipment Pro has Rate Insights and the equipment-only Pro plans have SONAR Insights.
Pros
- Optional factoring of the invoices you choose, with no volume requirements or reserves advertised
Cons
- Truckstop Factoring charges underwriting and per invoice fees
