Bottom line: the hopper-equipment filter on BulkLoads is a real time-saver - cut our deadhead miles right away. I manage a fleet of 60 trucks in the Southeast, and being able to pull only loads that match hopper type, gate position and capacity means drivers show up with the right gear and get unloaded fast. Simple feature, big difference to my dispatch day.
Used it for about 6 years. Their customer suppprt is a joke - when a hopper load vanished I was on hold for days, email replies took 3–4 days and I lost almost a week of revenue (~$1,100) because nobody followed up or fixed the billing issue.
When I uploaded USDOT and insurance documents and completed a lengthy profile, my account sat in “pending verification” with no email or progress update for three days - during that time two hopper loads went unbooked and our drivers were idle. Every attempt to post a bulk load during that window timed out and wiped the form, and support replies took nearly 48 hours; I lost pay and trust. For a fleet of ten trucks trying to hit narrow harvest windows, that onboarding friction cost me roughly $700 in missed revenue and convinced me to abandon the platform.
Last spring I snagged a last-minute corn run on BulkLoads that matched my hopper's axle specs exactly, turning what would've been two empty backhauls into a full paying trip. The shipper messaged me directly on the platform to confirm weights - I'm dispatching ten trucks in the Northeast for two years and that one load covered the month.
