One big marketplace
With nearly 500,000 live loads posted to our transport bidding platform monthly, Haulage Exchange is the place to find great opportunities for business growth. We’ll help you get the most out of each mile on the road, keeping you in control of your business at every step.
Transport bidding couldn’t be easier
We make sure you’re matched with as many relevant loads as possible and we make it simple to bid for loads and transport jobs on our transport bidding site, anywhere in the UK.
- Find a load that meets your requirements
- Make a bid, using the quoting instructions provided by the poster
- Contact the poster if your bid is accepted
- Receive booking confirmation
- Get moving
With thousands of new loads posted every day, it won’t take you long to get a transport bid accepted!
You’ll work out terms and conditions directly with the poster. We’re not involved in the process, and we don’t take a cut. So you’ll discuss prices, timetables, cancellation fees and other details (will you load and unload the vehicle?) with the poster.
We find that direct communication works best, saving time and avoiding confusion.

Ryan Wicks, Falcon Print TransportFrequently asked questions
How do I submit a bid for a load?
You can submit quotes directly through the Haulage Exchange platform, either on desktop or the HX Fleet App. Simply find a load that fits your vehicle and route, then enter your offer price with just a few clicks.
What information do I need to include in my bid?
Quotes should include your price, vehicle details, and any relevant accreditations, such as ADR or refrigerated capability. This helps load posters assess not only cost but also suitability and compliance when awarding work.
What happens if my bid is accepted?
Once your quote is accepted, you’ll receive confirmation and job details instantly through the system. You can then manage the load, track progress, and send invoices directly within HX, keeping everything in one place.
Are there any fees or commissions for using the transport bidding service?
No commission is taken on individual bids. Instead, members pay a subscription to access Haulage Exchange, which includes unlimited quoting, compliance tools, and features like SmartPay for faster and more reliable payments.
How does the smart load-matching technology work?
HX uses real-time data to match loads with available vehicles based on location, route, and requirements. The platform alerts you to loads that fit your profile, so you can bid quickly and reduce the chance of running empty.
