Access haulage loads where and when you need it
The load board gives you access to 15,000 daily haulage loads across the UK and Europe, which we update continuously as new freight is posted. Filter by route, vehicle type and date to find work that matches your fleet without scrolling through irrelevant jobs.
Price-Per-Mile data is available for each load so you can see what a job pays relative to the distance before deciding whether to quote. That lets you make decisions based on your actual operating costs rather than guessing at whether a load is worth taking.
Reduce empty running and track your fleet
Finding backloads is one of the most direct ways to improve your margins as a haulier. Haulage Exchange gives you access to return loads across the UK, searchable by route and collection point, so you can fill your vehicle for the journey home rather than running empty and absorbing the fuel cost.The Fleet App lets you manage jobs, update your vehicle availability and communicate directly with clients while you are on the road. Real-time tracking means your clients can see delivery progress without you having to call in updates. If you take on subcontractor haulage work alongside your own loads, the platform handles tracking and communication for those jobs in the same place.
Manage all your payments within the platform
SmartPay handles payment management within the same platform as your load board. Once a job is completed, payment is processed through the exchange without you having to issue separate invoices or chase payment from individual clients.For hauliers running multiple jobs through the exchange, this removes the admin of tracking payments across different clients. Every transaction is recorded in one place, giving you a clear view of outstanding payments and when they are due to be settled.
Once your account is verified, you can start viewing haulage loads straight away. Many small fleets secure their first job within days of joining. The live map gives you instant access to available work near your current location or route.
Yes, HX is ideal for finding backloads to avoid running empty. You can search by route or location and set alerts for specific areas. This helps reduce dead mileage and adds extra income to journeys you’re already making.
You’ll find a wide range of haulage loads, from palletised goods to specialist freight like ADR haulage. Whether you run rigids, artics or smaller trucks, there’s work to suit most lorry types. Freight forwarders and shippers post jobs daily across the UK and Europe.
Both options are available. You can submit quotes for loads via the load board that interest you, but as you build a reputation, many shippers will reach out directly. Some members secure regular contracts this way, turning one-off jobs into ongoing work.
Absolutely. In fact, many HX members are small hauliers or owner-operators. The platform helps level the playing field, giving you access to the same haulage work as larger operators—without needing a sales team or agency.
