About Load Tide

Independent freight and trucking news for the people who keep America moving.

Load Tide is an independent freight and trucking news site. We cover what moves the U.S. freight market: spot and contract rates, diesel prices, FMCSA and DOT regulations, driver and carrier issues, freight brokerage, dispatch and the day-to-day business of running trucks.

Who we write for

Our readers are the people who keep freight moving: owner-operators and small fleets, company drivers, dispatchers, freight brokers, shippers and anyone who wants to understand the trucking industry. We try to explain not only what happened, but what it means for your rates, your margins and your next load.
