Loads
Got freight and no truck free? Post it with pallets, weight and rate, and let members with a wagon heading that way book it.
What you can post
Four ways to fill your wagons
Every listing is matched to the vehicle. A tanker isn't asked about pallets, and a curtainsider is the default because that's what most of you run.
Vehicles available
Already heading somewhere empty? Post the run and we'll show you loads along the way, or advertise spare space, your route and your kit.
Traction
Loaded trailer but no unit or driver? A subcontractor pulls it for you and drops or returns the trailer where you say.
Units for hire
Unit and driver standing? Offer them to firms with trailers that need pulling, with your base, availability and day rate.
How it works
From sign-up to booked in three steps
Step 1
Join and get approved
Tell us about your firm. We check every member before they get in, so you're dealing with real hauliers.
Step 2
Post or browse
Post a listing in under a minute using your saved defaults, or filter the board by region, vehicle, ADR and hydraulics.
Step 3
Book and call direct
Book a job with one tap. The poster gets your company and number, and you agree the details between you.

Questions
Before you sign up
Who can join?
UK haulage firms and owner-drivers. We check each firm before approving them, so the board stays trusted.
Do you take a cut of the job?
No. You pay the monthly membership and nothing else. Rates are agreed directly between members.
Who can see my listings?
Other approved member firms. That keeps the board to genuine hauliers who can actually take the work. Visitors to the website see sample listings so they know what to expect.
What vehicles does it cover?
Any and all, from vans and rigids to artics, tankers and low loaders. If your vehicle or trailer type is missing, and we'll add it.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Monthly plans have no contract, so you can cancel any time. Yearly plans run for the year you've paid for.
