HOW TO USE COURIER LOADS

Transport professionals, using this platform allows you to trade freely and maximise your potential. Whether it be to trade loads with forwarders and transport companies or as a private individual or entrepreneur to negotiate your own terms,  you can do it here.

Private individual’s, achieve huge savings negotiating directly with transport providers. For example . you need a motor bike shipping from the UK to France.  If your shipping dates are flexible and a vehicle is in the UK returning to the France. you can receive ‘backload rates’ usually with savings up to 60% as the transport is going home with available space.

Traders and forwarders, use your own Dashboard to keep your inventory of jobs received and completed.
