Haulage Exchange connects owner-drivers and HGV operators with regular contract work across the UK. Access haulage contracts from verified businesses, build long-term working relationships and create a consistent revenue base that goes beyond one-off loads.
Trusted by the best in the business
A haulage contract is a formal agreement between an operator and a business for the regular movement of freight over a defined period. Unlike available haulage loads, which are one-off spot jobs sourced on demand, contracts provide recurring work on agreed routes, rates and service terms, giving you predictable income and a stable foundation to plan your fleet around.Operators considering subcontractor haulage work carry freight within another company’s network on a job basis rather than holding the primary contract themselves. That is a distinct model and is covered separately through the exchange.
The exchange gives you access to haulage contract opportunities from verified businesses across the UK, posted by companies that need reliable, regular freight capacity. Every business on the platform has been checked through the Trustd compliance system, which means you are working with clients that meet the same professional standards you are held to.
With over 10,000 members on the exchange, the network gives you exposure to a wide pool of potential clients and the opportunity to build the kind of long-term relationships that generate consistent contract work over time.
Haulage contracts on the exchange come with clear rate information, giving you what you need to quote accurately and negotiate fair working arrangements. Rather than pricing job by job at market rate, contract work lets you agree on terms with clients upfront and plan your fleet around consistent, predictable revenue.
