About the Turkey load board
The Turkey load board lists GigFreight loads for Turkish road freight and for international TIR transport between Turkey and Europe, through Bulgaria, Romania and the Balkans to Central and Western Europe.
Turkish accounts have the widest view on GigFreight: they see Turkish, European and UK freight, so a carrier can plan an export load to Europe and a return load back.

Questions about this board
Can I browse Turkey loads without an account?
Load boards can be browsed without an account. Visitors see the route, dates, equipment and price of each load, but not the poster’s contact details.
How much does the Turkey load board cost?
Standard membership for the Turkey 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 Turkey board?
Anyone can browse the listings. Accounts registered in the Turkey market see loads in Europe, United Kingdom and Turkey. 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.
