Posting backloads and routes

Bidding is reactive — you find the load. Posting is the other direction: you publish what you’ve got and let the work come to you. There are two ways to do it.

  • A backload is a specific return leg you want to sell, posted like a load. Shippers bid on it.
  • Route availability advertises that a truck is running a lane with spare capacity. Shippers searching for capacity find it, and matching loads generate a notification.

Post both for the same trip if you like. They do different jobs.

Before you start

  • You must be a provider account with a paid subscription.
  • Route availability additionally requires a company profile — without one you’re told “Create your company profile before posting route availability.” See Company settings.
  • A cross-border lane needs cross-border clearance for either. See Cross-border clearance.

Posting a backload

In the app: Marketplace → Post backload (/marketplace/post-backload). It’s the same three-step wizard shippers use to post a load — Lane, Cargo, Pricing — so Posting a load covers the fields. Finish with Post backload.

Posting route availability

In the app: Marketplace → Find truck capacity (/marketplace/routes) → Post a route.

Step 1 — Route

  1. Under Pick a corridor, choose a preset. This fills Origin and Destination.
  2. Set a Departure date.

Step 2 — Capacity & return

  1. Pick a Truck to tie the route to a specific vehicle — optional, and its tonnage pre-fills capacity. With no fleet registered the picker reads “No trucks in your fleet”, which doesn’t stop you posting.
  2. Set Free capacity (t). This one is required; Post route stays disabled without it. Add Free capacity (m³) if volume is your real constraint.
  3. Choose a Vehicle type.
  4. Tick Add my return trip to get matched both ways, then set a Return date and return capacity. Routes with a return leg carry a Return badge.

Click Post route.

Corridor presets matter

Auto-matching keys off the corridor presets. The wizard says so itself under the corridor buttons: “Picking a corridor lets us auto-match shipper loads to your route. Custom lanes are listed but not auto-matched.” No notification will ever fire for a custom lane, in either direction. If matching is the point, pick a preset.

How matching works

When a shipper posts a load on a corridor where you have an open route, you get “A new load matches your route”. The reverse also fires: post a route on a corridor with open loads and their shippers get “A carrier route matches your load.”

Matching runs at post time only. Existing rows aren’t re-matched later, which has two consequences worth knowing:

  • Get your company verified — and cross-border cleared, for cross-border lanes — before you post. An uncleared carrier is skipped silently.
  • If something changes after the fact, re-post to trigger matching. Nothing will happen otherwise.

Shippers filter /marketplace/routes by origin, destination, departure window, vehicle type and minimum capacity, and can tick Verified only and Has return leg. Verified carriers rank first. Accurate capacity and a real departure date are what get you shortlisted.
