How commission works when you accept loads
When you accept a load, the commission is automatically deducted from the displayed amount. The amount you see is what you'll receive after commission.
The price shown to you is already after commission deduction. You don't need to calculate anything - what you see is what you get!
Let's say a supplier posts a load worth £2,000:
You see the exact amount you'll receive before accepting the load
Commission is clearly displayed and calculated automatically
The larger the load, the lower the commission percentage
How commission works when you post loads
When you post a load, you pay the original load value plus commission. The commission is added on top of your budget, so you know exactly what you'll pay.
You pay: Load Value + Commission The commission is clearly shown before you confirm payment, so there are no surprises!
Let's say you want to post a load worth £2,000:
Multiple payment options including card and bank transfer
Request invoices for your records and accounting
Competitive rates that scale with your load size
Common questions about our commission structure
Yes! We believe in fairness. Both carriers and suppliers pay the same commission rates based on load size: 5% for small loads, 4% for medium loads, and 3% for large loads.
Load size is based on the total value of the load in GBP:
For Suppliers: Commission is paid when you post the load, along with the load value. For Carriers: Commission is automatically deducted from the amount you receive - the price shown is already after commission.
No! Our commission structure is completely transparent. The rates shown are the only fees you'll pay. No registration fees, no monthly charges, no hidden costs.
Our tiered system already rewards larger loads with lower commission rates. If you regularly post large loads (above £5,000), you automatically benefit from our lowest rate of 3%.
For loads with a minimum and maximum budget, we use the maximum budget to determine the commission tier. This ensures you get the best rate possible for your load size.
