Posting a complete freight load
A practical checklist for publishing a load: locations, packaging, dimensions, vehicle, timing and quotation terms.
Prepare the shipment information
A useful listing lets a driver assess suitability without repeated clarification calls. Confirm the product, package count, gross weight and dimensions with the warehouse. Mark estimates as estimates rather than presenting them as verified figures. Specify origin and destination countries as well as cities, especially when place names are ambiguous.
Vehicle and handling requirements
State the vehicle type and number required, whether packages may be stacked and whether loading needs rear, side or roof access. Record forklift or other handling requirements and which party provides the equipment. For sensitive cargo, obtain temperature or other special requirements from the product specification.
Example and publication checklist
Illustrative listing: textile on 18 pallets, total gross weight 12,000 kg, Istanbul to Tabriz, side loading with a forklift, one curtainsider, ready within the specified window. Confirm pallet dimensions and stacking before accepting. Check weight units, readiness dates and currency. Keep identity documents, banking information and sensitive warehouse details out of a public description.
After offers arrive
Compare vehicle suitability, actual availability, included costs and payment timing. Tell the counterpart if the route, weight or readiness changes. Keep the final agreed conditions consistent with the shipment details rather than selecting only the smallest price.
