What do you think? Was the old version bulkloads app better then the new one? To me old version seemed more organized and easier to navigate through. At the same time there are a few things I do like. Any opinions welcome. Thanks....

Older version was way easier to use from my phone. The new version is very tech oriented. I’m not illiterate but I’m not an engineer either I hope that as this new one grows it becomes easier for the common person to use.

Hi Guys,

I'm sorry you're not completely happy with the new mobile app and we really do appreciate all the feedback even when it's not positive. We always want to make sure we're making things easier, not harder for you.

I can definitely understand why some are not happy with the navigation on the new app. After being used to the old app, the new does take some getting used to. We've heard from a lot of users that after taking some time to get used to the new flow, they now prefer it to the old way. The way it's laid out now, we'll be able to add many more features to the app for you.

Same Load Search options, plus more
There has been some confusion on where the different load search options have gone. The new app has all of the same load search options, plus more, but we've moved them to the top of the loads page as tabs you can click on. Here's a quick video to show the different load search options.
How can we make the app better for you?
Since the new app has been completely rebuilt, there are inevitably going to be some quirks and bugs to work out and changes to get used to. We are committed to making sure we get these ironed out as soon as possible for you.
If you have specific issues or ideas that would make things easier for you, please email us at [email protected] and we will do our best to make them happen.
Thank you for your patience and support as we work through the issues.

Hi Todd,

Below is a quick video showing how to quickly search Canada Provinces and also search all of Canada at once.

On the 'By State' search, you can now select multiple states at once and also choose if you want to seach states by Origin or Destination. You can also select specific trailer types to narrow your search even more.

There is also a Region search where you can quickly select a Region to search. Canada is included as it's own Region.

I hope this helps.

Search for Canada, by Province.

Search all of Canada, by Region.

This new and improved version is anything but improved now it’s one of the worst load boards we have. Listen to your customers please bring back the old version

Thanks for the feedback, Scott. I have your request added to the list and we should be able to get this added this week so you can sort load results by city name or state name.

Hi John, I'm sorry to hear that.

Would you be willing to share any feedback on what part of the app you aren't liking?

Are you having trouble doing something you could previously do in the old app? I'd be very glad to create a walkthrough video for you to show you how to do the same thing in the new app.

The new app actually works very similar to the old app, the biggest changes are the main menu now being at the bottom of the screen so you can go anywhere in the app from any screen, and the load search options are now listed as tabs on the loads screen.

We've actually added a lot of enhancements to the load searches. Here's a quick list:

- You can now search by States by origin, destination or region.

- You can now select multiple states to search, instead of just one at a time.

- In the 'By City' search, you can now also add a destination city with a radius so you can run searches like 'Hopper loads originating within 100 miles of Omaha, NE going to within 200 miles of St. Louis, MO'.

- Your past searches are listed under the 'Past Searches' tab where you can click on them to re-run that search. This makes re-running searches very quick.

- On the load details, the new app automatically lists reloads for that specific load to give you an idea on loads you can make a round with.

The new app certainly isn't perfect. With your feedback, we can make it better for everyone.

I can't exit the app with the back button any longer, I have to completely quit it. It's a small thing but it's irritating.

Hey Steve, thanks for the feedback.

The easiest and quickest way to exit out of the app is to press the Home button on your phone. I see you are using an Android. Here's a quick video to show how the home button exits the app. One other benefit to clicking the home button instead of having to click the back button to exit is that when you reopen the app it will be at the same screen you left off on. I hope this helps.

Another thing that is kind of annoying is when looking at loads on the state map you have to zoom in each time you look at a load. Then when you exit that load info the map automatically reverts back to a broad view and you have to zoom back into the area you want to search.

I'm getting used to it now at first I thought I didn't like it after a couple of days it's okay I think. Still learning how to navigate through it but it seems to work fine.

Old version, Hands Down better than the new app, not user friendly, can not recall favorites easily, go back to the Old App, or give us the option

Had been using the old version - today when I log in I only get the option of the new version - hate it. When I do a serach for loads and list comes up I do not see a button to email the person who listed the load... where is that option - a lot of people are hard to get on the phone and answer by email much faster.

Old version a lot easier to navigate. Give us the option to choose!
Replied on Sat, Aug 03, 2019 at 06:36 PM CST
I think the new will be nice once you get used to it. Absolutely love the reload feature finally hitting the app. Don't get around the office to look at the desktop much and the reload feature saves me more time than anything.

Old version way easier to use
Replied on Sun, Aug 04, 2019 at 12:28 AM CST
I’m still making my mind up on whether I like it better or not. One thing that is bothersome for me is, when performing a load search I click on a load to check, when I go back to the search results it takes me back to the very first result instead of where I was at in the listing. Not a real big deal but still a little annoying!

I like the old version better way easier to navigate. Plus once I get used to something it always has to get changed. I didn't see anything wrong with old version.

Put the old version back up!!!!! Or give us the option to use the new or the old. You definitely didn't make it easy to navigate, you made more steps to look up the reloads, the old version was simple and easy to use

Old version. If I remember correctly this is the 3rd. Update. Gets more frustrating each time. Sorry. Just my thoughts.
