Free freight exchange? Browsing is free, posting and contacts need a plan

Free

• 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.
• Filtering, sorting and comparing the rate per mile or per kilometre

With a plan

• 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.
• 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.

UK prices

Standard: £67 a month, £169 a quarter, £305 for six months. Elite: £109 a month. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial; you can cancel before it ends. No commission per load.

What to check on a “free” freight exchange

• What exactly is free: browsing only, or contact details and posting too?
• Is there a trial, and what does it include?
• Is a commission taken on each load?
• Are companies verified before they can post loads?

Return loads and costing a job

Free browsing is enough to see whether a lane has return loads before you commit to the outbound job. When you cost a job, count the empty miles to the next pickup and the waiting time as well as the rate shown on the load.
