FAQ: Network Partner Load Board vs. Emerge Load Board
1. What’s the difference between a Network Partner Load Board and the Emerge Load Board?
Network Partner Load Board:
Customer-specific board that shows loads from a particular shipper.
Only the shipper can add carriers or brokers as Network Partners.
No Certificate of Insurance (COI) required for viewing loads.
Emerge Load Board (Emerge Marketplace):
This board lists all available loads across the platform for bidding by asset-based carriers.
To access this board, you must complete Highway Link registration and meet specific qualifications.
2. Why can’t I see the Emerge Load Board?
There are several reasons why you might not have access to the Emerge Load Board:
DND (Do Not Dispatch) on File:
If there is a DND note on your account, access will be blocked. Contact Application Support for clarification or Carrier Team at (602) 635-1340 to dispute it.
Broker Restrictions:
Only carriers can access the Emerge Marketplace. Brokers are restricted to prevent double brokering.
Authority Grant Date:

12 consecutive months in business with an active operating authority and 2 DOT inspections.
OR 24 consecutive months with 1 DOT inspection.
DOT-only carriers must have at least 2 DOT inspections, regardless of the time in service.
