Frequently asked questions
How do instant load alerts work?
Tell us the lanes, vehicle types and rates you care about, and Loadmarket sends an instant WhatsApp or Telegram message the moment a matching load is posted. You reply and book — no sitting on a board hitting refresh.
How is Loadmarket different from other freight exchanges?
Most exchanges expect you to log in and search. Loadmarket pushes matching loads straight to you on the apps you already use, so you fill trucks and find return loads faster. The core exchange is also free to use — no membership tiers or per-load commission.
Who can use Loadmarket?
Shippers with freight to move, haulage companies, couriers, owner-drivers and freight forwarders across the UK. If you move goods by road, or need goods moved, Loadmarket is for you.
What are return loads and backloads?
A return load (or backload) is freight carried on the journey back after a delivery, instead of running the vehicle home empty. Filling empty legs typically recovers 30–50% of the round-trip cost and cuts emissions.
