How it works for shippers

Post a load once, with its exact pieces, size, weight and windows, and carriers whose vehicle fits can find it.

Account owners must be 19 or older.

  1. Create your business account

    Sign up with your email, name your business and give its address in British Columbia. Invite the people who post loads for you.

  2. Post the load

    Give the pickup and delivery places and windows, each piece with its dimensions and weight, the vehicle types you accept, and what the pickup and delivery need: a liftgate, a dock, two people, an appointment. Say whether the load needs dangerous-goods documents.

Your contact details stay with members

The public preview shows a load's lane, dates, vehicle, size and weight. Your business name and contact details show only to members.

One tap when it is covered

Mark a load covered and it leaves the board at once, so carriers stop calling about it. Post again copies it as a new load.

No commission

You and the carrier agree the price and you pay the carrier directly. NearLoad Connect takes nothing from the load.

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.

Account owners must be 19 or older.
