Increase earnings by 77% with STL AddOnsTM
After you’ve booked your first load, Flock’s STL AddOns technology continuously searches for compatible Flock loads to fill the available space in your trucks.
When we find matching AddOn loads, we’ll notify you through email and in-app notifications, so you never miss an earnings opportunity.
STL AddOns is available for any Flock load that doesn’t fill an entire trailer. Whether you booked a partial load or Shared Truckload, this new product unlocks even more ways to fill your trailer and maximize earnings.
You can easily book these AddOn loads by following these steps:
1. Log into the Flock Platform
2. Navigate to the "STL AddOns" tab. There should be a number alongside it with the amount of STL AddOns available for you or your fleet.
3. Select the desired STL AddOn load that complements your current shipment.
4. Click "View Details" for more information about the load.
5. Press "Book Now" to secure the additional load, maximizing your truck's capacity and increasing your earning potential.

How to log seals
- Navigate to Manage Loads. Loads requiring seals will have an alert displayed.
- Click on Log Seals
- Select the stop you are leaving and enter the corresponding seal number
- Continue logging seals until the final delivery
