In order to properly submit your loads
to the USLoadSource database, you may submit loads individually
by clicking on the "Manage Loads" link on your Broker
page, then select "Post Single Load." USLoadsource.com
also allows you to submit loads in spreadsheet form as a .csv
(comma-separated) file. The file requirements and directions
are as follows:
