How quickly can I start finding haulage loads once I join HX?
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.
Can I use HX to find return loads for long-distance jobs?
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.
What types of freight are posted on Haulage Exchange?
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.
Do I need to bid on jobs, or can I get direct offers?
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.
Is Haulage Exchange suitable for smaller fleets?
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.
