For transport operators

Fill the right space on the right route.

GoBackload gives operators two clear ways to take on work, depending on how the sender posted the load.

Ready to Go

Accept Ready to Go freight

Review the route, load, operator amount and requirements. Enter workable pickup and delivery dates, then accept the available job.

  • The sender's payment has been secured with GoBackload.
  • Provide realistic dates and clear transport notes.
  • Card balances are finalised before contact details are released.
Go to Market

Bid on auction freight

Submit a bid through the marketplace. The coordinator may ask questions or confirm details before presenting an option to the sender.

  • Quote the job based on the information supplied.
  • Keep questions and updates within the listing.
  • Wait for confirmation before arranging pickup.
For every accepted job

Communicate and deliver

Once confirmed, coordinate the practical details, transport the load as agreed and keep the job status up to date.

From booking to delivered.

Confirm contacts

The sender, coordinator and operator align the pickup and delivery contacts, dates and access details.

02

Pickup and transport

The operator collects the load and carries it under the agreed booking details.

03

Confirm delivery

Delivery is recorded, the job is completed and the payment process can be finalised under the booking terms.

04

Share feedback

Feedback helps future senders and operators make informed marketplace decisions.

Common questions

The useful details, upfront.

Still unsure? Contact the help desk and we will point you in the right direction.

Contact the help desk
Which posting option should I choose?

Choose Ready to Go for a clear Priority or Standby price. Choose Go to Market if you want operators to bid before you decide.

Do I pay when I create the listing?

Ready to Go requires a card deposit or full POLi payment. Go to Market has no upfront payment; you pay after choosing a transport option.

Who actually transports my freight?

GoBackload is the marketplace and coordination service. Your freight is carried by the independent transport operator confirmed for the job.

Do I need to arrange insurance?

You are responsible for arranging any insurance you require. Check the operator details and the terms applying to your booking before transport begins.
