We’re happy to announce we’ve partnered with Newtrul to provide real loads from vetted brokers in LOST FR8.

We want LOST FR8 to enable carriers to put their capacity to work. The partnership with Newtrul matches carriers’ capacity with loads right in the LOST FR8 dashboard.

All you need to do is head to the newly-added “Loads” tab and start searching.

We ended up staying in touch and when I launched LOST FR8 he had since moved to Veteran Carriers to help run their flatbed division. he was quick to sign up. He’s been a great customer since then. I recommend anyone and everyone try and get to know and or work with Russ and Veteran carriers.”
