One load, start to finish.
Six stages, in the order they actually happen, over a single shipment record. Nothing after the first stage asks you to type the load again.
Join, and get verified
You register as a carrier or a shipper and send your documents. A person checks them against official registries, validates your VAT number through VIES, and Stripe verifies your identity and payout account. Typically two to five business days from complete documentation.
From then on your VAT number answers the credentials question for you, and you can check a company the same way before committing to them.
Find the load, or the truck
The freight board lists loads looking for a truck; the truck board lists capacity looking for a load. Both roles browse both. When a price needs agreeing, a shipper posts a transport request and carriers bid on it.
You can skip this entirely. If you already know who is moving the load, create the shipment and invite them.
The shipment becomes the record
Once the load is agreed it exists as a shipment: addresses, parties, goods, the truck and the driver from your own fleet records. Everything after this point is generated from it rather than entered again.
Some states stop accepting edits on purpose. Once a load has moved and been documented, its record is evidence rather than a draft.
Documents come out of it
The eCMR is generated from the shipment and signed electronically by the parties to the consignment, through a qualified signature provider. The eFTI set, including Spain's DeCA, comes from the same record.
Spain's DeCA becomes mandatory on 5 October 2026 for the road transport it covers.
The truck gets a slot
If the destination runs DockPass, the arriving truck books a named slot on the bay calendar instead of joining a queue. The site that owns the bay runs its day from one board.
A visiting carrier books without an account and pays nothing for it, which is what makes it realistic to ask every inbound truck to take a slot.
The money pays on agreed terms
Payment terms are attached to the shipment and accepted before the goods move. Immediate payment, an authorization hold released on delivery, or deposit plus balance, chosen per shipment rather than set once for everyone.
The party raising the request proposes the workflow and the other accepts it. The platform records and enforces what you agreed rather than dictating it.
You do not have to use all six
Each stage stands on its own. Run shipments without ever posting to a board, issue eCMRs for loads you sourced elsewhere, or open your bays for booking without moving freight through the platform. Using more of it means less retyping, and a part you never touch never costs you anything.
Run one load and see
Register, clear verification, and take a single shipment from the board to the bank. It is the shortest honest test of whether one record is worth the difference.
