E-Mail Alerts

 

If you are looking for a load, Getloaded has developed another great tool to help get you rolling.

 

With Getloaded E-Mail Alerts, you can now save a load search and we'll alert you via e-mail whenever a load is posted that matches your search that day.

 

Best of all, it's a FREE feature that's part of every Trucker Plus, Trucker Elite, Combo, Combo Plus, and Combo Elite membership.

 

How do E-Mail Alerts work?

 

You can set up E-Mail Alerts on the Load Search Results page. The link to create an E-Mail Alert will also appear on the Load Search Criteria page if no loads are found.
