What is a Freight Exchange?

“Saving time and money, keeping your customers satisfied. That’s what a Freight Exchange is all about.”.

At its simplest, an online freight exchange matches freight with available vehicle space. Hauliers and truck drivers can search online for available freight – or post their available transport capacity. Similarly, freight forwarders can offer freight for transportation, or search for suitable vehicles.

For example:

You have received an urgent customer request on Friday evening to transport tulips from Keukenhof in the Netherlands to Como, Italy. But you don’t have any freight for the return trip. How can you avoid these costly empty runs? Go to Teleroute Freight Exchange, and within just a few clicks you can view real-time offers matching your return freight needs.
