Introduction
The Suggested Tab in Carrier TMS surfaces loads that match your history and lanes — so you can find relevant freight faster without manually searching the full Loadboard. This article covers how to access and use the Suggested Tab in both Carrier TMS and the Driver App, including how to set your load preferences.
Suggested Tab in Carrier TMS
Step 1: Click Suggested
Log in to Carrier TMS and click the Suggested tab on the right-hand side of the Loadboard.
Step 2: Browse the Side Drawer
Clicking the tab opens a side drawer listing all loads suggested for your carrier. These suggestions are based on loads you've previously moved and lanes you've operated in.
You can also filter results by driver using the Filter by Drivers field — enter a driver's name to narrow the suggested loads to what's relevant for them.
Suggested Tab in the Driver App
Owner-operators using the Driver App have access to the Suggested Tab as well. It appears along the bottom tab row — tap it to view suggested loads directly from the app.
Setting Load Preferences
You can configure preferences to control the types of loads that appear in your Suggested tab. Follow the steps below to complete setup.
Step 1: Open Preferences
Click Set Preferences to begin. Review the overview text, then confirm to continue.
Step 2: Select Pickup and Delivery Locations
Choose your preferred pickup and delivery location types by business category.
Step 3: Choose Transport Type and Equipment

Step 4: Set Vehicle Preferences
