Loads that fit your vehicle

A load board for vans, box trucks and urgent freight in British Columbia

Shippers post a load with its exact size, weight and pickup needs. Carriers with a vehicle that fits find it and agree terms with the shipper directly. NearLoad Connect takes no commission.

Precise loads

  1. Every load lists its pieces with their dimensions and weight, whether it needs a liftgate, a dock or two people, and its pickup and delivery windows. A carrier can tell whether it fits before quoting.

    The example load's 3 pieces drawn to one scale, each with its length marked: pallet, crate, carton.PalletCrateCarton

Listings that stay current

A load comes off the board by itself when its pickup window passes, the poster marks it covered in one tap, and every listing shows how long ago it was posted. Nothing reposts by itself.

Shippers and carriers

For shippers

Post a load once, with its pieces, dimensions, weight and pickup and delivery windows, and carriers with the right vehicle can find it.

For carriers

Find loads that fit your cargo van, Sprinter-class van, box truck or hotshot rig, by lane, distance, dates and vehicle.

How it works for carriers

Who it is for

Businesses based in British Columbia, from a one-vehicle owner-operator to a regular shipper. Every load starts or ends in British Columbia, the other end anywhere in Canada outside Quebec.

A load board, not a broker

Shippers and carriers agree terms with each other, and the carrier is paid by the shipper under those terms. NearLoad Connect takes no part in the deal.
