Standard membership for the Europe market costs €79 a month, €199 per quarter or €359 per six months. Elite, which adds Elite loads and priority matching, costs €129 a month. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial; you can cancel before it ends. Prices are in EUR.
Who can see loads on the France board?
Anyone can browse the listings. Accounts registered in the Europe market see loads in Europe and United Kingdom. Posting loads is restricted to active paid subscribers and valid trials: the load is posted from a broker account — shippers and forwarders use the same account type — of a verified company, and is published in that account’s own markets. Carriers and owner-operators use the board to find work.
Are broker contact details included in the free trial?
Broker and shipper contact details on a load are shown only to members with a fully paid, active subscription. A trial gives access to the platform but not to load contact details.
