DISCLOSURE
When we may be paid, and what it does not change
BuddyLoads makes its money from dispatch fees. We also point carriers to three partners, and we may be paid when you use them. It never changes the price you pay, and you never have to use a partner to work with us.

Our rules for partner links
- Your price stays the same. A referral fee comes from the partner. You pay what you would pay going to them directly.
- Partners only where they fit. A partner appears only on pages where it answers the reader's question, and we say who it does not suit next to the link.
- Labeled every time. Partner boxes carry the partner's name and a one-line disclosure next to the button, linking back here.
- No rankings for sale. Comparisons on this site use terms each company publishes, with the date we checked. Our own partner is placed by the same rules as everyone else.
- Dispatch never depends on it. Factoring, testing programs and protection plans are your choice. Our dispatch fee and terms are the same either way.
Partner links go through an address on our site (/go/...) so we can count clicks; they are marked as sponsored for search engines. Prices and plan details we mention come from the partner's public pages with the date we checked, and they can change. How we write and check our guides is on the editorial policy page. Questions?
