Every filter in freight search, including how to hide hazmat, overweight and oversized loads.

Freight search has more filters than the ones on the first screen. Open More filters to see all of them. The button shows how many you have turned on.

The freight search bar for Seattle, WA within 200 mi: Date, origin and service area fields, the Everything, Spot Loads and Lanes & Projects tabs, and at the right end of the bar, outlined in blue, the More filters icon button showing a count of 1. Below, the Post a truck band and one posting from Pied Piper Logistics.
More filters sits at the right end of the search bar. The badge is how many filters are on.

Filters that start turned on

When you open freight search, your trailer types and border crossings are already filled in from your company profile. To change them for one search, change the filter. To change them every time, update the equipment and border crossings on your profile.

The filters

  • Origin or truck location, and destination. One or more cities, regions or countries.
  • Border crossings. Only the crossings you run.
  • Trailer type.
  • Pickup date.
  • Mode. Full truckload, partial (LTL) or power only. For partials you can set the most linear feet you have free.
  • Load requirements. Hazmat, overweight and oversized.
  • Transit. Round trip.
  • Driver requirements. TWIC card, tanker endorsement, CDL driver and team drivers.
  • Carrier requirements. CTPAT, FAST, PIP and OEA certifications, bonded, and a maximum cargo insurance amount.

Hide hazmat loads

Open More filters and click Hazmat under Load requirements to turn it off. Hazmat postings are then left out of your results. To see only hazmat postings, choose Hazmat only instead. Overweight and oversized work the same way.

The expanded More filters panel: Mode (Full truckload, Partial (LTL), Power only, Max linear feet), Load requirements with Hazmat outlined in blue next to Overweight and Oversized, Transit (Round trip), Driver Requirements and Carrier Requirements pills, and the Max cargo insurance field.
Under Load requirements, click Hazmat to turn it off. Open its menu for Hazmat only.

A filter only changes what you see. It does not change what you are allowed to bid on. See Why you cannot bid on a posting for that.
