Built specifically for bulk freight
General freight tools average bulk into the noise. Every number here comes from bulk commodities moving on bulk equipment.
- 01
Lane rate benchmarks
Geo-fenced origin-to-destination rates matched to your equipment type, with low, average, and high estimates per mile and per load.
- 02
Confidence scoring
Every estimate is scored on how closely the underlying freight matches your lane, so a thin lane never looks like a thick one.
- 03
Commodity trends
Rate movement by commodity group over 3, 6, 9, or 12 months. See which markets are firming before the freight moves.
- 04
Fuel-adjusted cost per mile
Rates carry fuel adjustment and cost-per-mile so the number you quote reflects your real margin, not a gross figure.
- 05
Regional load volume
Where freight is concentrating across the BulkLoads network, so you can position equipment ahead of the market.
- 06
Coverage where it counts
Hopper, end dump, walking floor, belt, and pneumatic, covering the dry and liquid bulk commodities that actually move.
- 07
RFP and bid support
Price a full bid sheet against settled freight rather than the long tail of guesswork. Shippers set realistic targets before a bid goes out; brokers see which lines they would be winning underpriced.
Know which markets are moving
Track rate movement by commodity group over 3, 6, 9, or 12 months. Grain, feed ingredients, aggregates and industrial, each on its own line, so a shift in one market never hides inside an average.
One source of truth, whichever side you're on
The data underneath is the same 14 years of settled bulk freight. What changes is the job it does for you.

Brokers
Quote fast. Defend every number.
Speed wins the load. Defensibility keeps the margin. Bulk Insights gives you both: an instant benchmark for any bulk lane, and the evidence to hold it when a shipper or carrier pushes back.

Shippers
Know what your freight should actually cost.
You're quoted a number and asked to trust it. Bulk Insights gives you an independent benchmark built from settled freight, plus a view across modes that general rate tools simply don't offer.
