About NearLoad Connect

NearLoad Connect is an online load board for Canada, starting in British Columbia, where shippers post loads and carriers with cargo vans, Sprinter-class vans, box trucks and hotshot rigs find them, quote and agree terms directly.

Vans, box trucks and pickups lined up to board two ferries at a terminal on a forested inlet.

What it is

An online load board where businesses that ship freight post loads, and carriers find them, quote and agree terms directly. It is built for small-vehicle and urgent freight, where a load has to be described precisely enough for the carrier of a van or box truck to know it fits.

How it is paid for

NearLoad Connect takes no commission and no share of what shippers and carriers agree. Membership is free during the pilot, then paid; the pricing page says what it costs.

What it never does

NearLoad Connect never sets a price, handles a freight payment, guarantees payment, or books a load on anyone's behalf. It is not a broker or a carrier. Shippers and carriers agree terms with each other.

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.
