Thank you for joining, and yes we do have tutorial videos that teach you the basics of using ReturnLoads.net that you can find here

There are a few ways you can find a load on Returnloads.net.

The first is by setting up freight alerts via your 'My Account' page, to do this you just need to select the areas where you are looking for loads and as soon as a load is added on to the exchange in those areas a freight alert will be emailed through to you.

The next way to find a load is to use our interactive map or quick search tools, with either of these options you just need to select the area you are looking for loads in and press search. You will be presented with all of the available loads within that area and you can then filter by vehicle type and destination.

The last way which can help you find a load is by adding your available vehicle to the exchange, by adding your vehicle any members who have alerts set up for empty vehicles in those locations will be instantly sent an email advising them of your availability and if interested they will contact you directly.

No we do not. Rates and payment terms are discussed and agreed with the other freight exchange member. With us not getting involved in the rates this helps our members give the best possible prices whilst maintaining their margins. 

Payment is made directly to you by the other Returnloads.net member. Rates, payment terms and conditions must be agreed prior to accepting any load. We do not get involved in the payment of work, that is solely between yourself and the haulier.

Rates, payment terms and conditions for any load you want delivered needs to be agreed between you and the transport company prior to the job starting. You will then be required to pay as per the agreed terms.

Reviews are given on each delivery job which is completed through our freight exchange. There are two types of review one is for performance which is given to the company who has delivered the load by the seller of that load and the other is on payment which is given by the company who delivered the load to the load seller. You can view all members previous received reviews prior to accepting any job ensuring you are happy with the company you have chosen to work with.

We have helpful page that explains how to best use the system safely and securely here.

Yes we do and you can download it completely free via the App Store for any IOS device or the Play Store for any Android based device. At the moment you can quickly search for available loads using the app. We are currently working on some new features for our app so watch this space!

Yes you can. You can set up email alerts for loads or vehicles or both and in as many areas as you wish. 

We try and stay completely impartial and will not recommend any specific members for any specific job. What we do say though is that it is always advisable to check a members rating and previous reviews prior to agreeing to any job. You can also keep your eye out for the ‘Verified’ members, these members have had their business documents reviewed and verified by us.

Absolutely, this is one of the main benefits of being a member of our freight exchange. Instead of turning the business away you can subcontract it out to one of our other members. That way it keeps your customer happy, it fills an empty vehicle of one of our members and you make a little extra revenue without having to deliver it yourself.

There are plenty of owner driver opportunities at Returnloads.net whether you are looking for haulage work. Our freight exchange is the perfect place to network and gain important industry contacts which can help you potentially grow your business.
