FAQ

What is the difference between Transporeon´s Freight?

Most freight exchanges focus solely on spot loads, operating as open - and often - local marketplaces with limited verification.

Exchange and other freight exchange platforms?

Transporeon’s Freight Exchange is different. It brings together spot and longer-term contracted tenders in one secure, neutral platform — so you can fill empty trucks today while securing predictable work for the months ahead.

 

Unlike many open exchanges, every carrier is verified before joining. Shippers and forwarders post tenders directly, and you bid without intermediaries or middle layers. The result is a controlled, professional network built on transparency.

 

Freight Exchange is designed for serious, asset-based carriers who operate their own trucks and want reliable, repeat business — not anonymous spot trading.

 

Is the Freight Marketplace platform available for all modes of transportation?

Transporeonʼs Freight Exchange currently focuses on FTL road transport and intermodal road-rail solutions across Europe.

 

It is built specifically for asset- based carriers operating their own trucks and trailers. If you run full truckload operations, this is exactly the environment itʼs designed for.

 

Additional transport modes may be added in the future as the network expands.

How is the Freight Marketplace different from other procurement tools?

Transporeonʼs Freight Exchange is not a traditional procurement system built solely for large buying teams. Itʼs a neutral platform where asset-based carriers can directly access tenders from shippers and forwarders.


Unlike many procurement tools that focus mainly on long-term contracts, Freight Exchange combines spot tenders and contracted tenders in one place — so you can fill trucks quickly and secure more predictable volumes.


The platform is truly neutral. It does not favour buyers or sellers. As a carrier, you can showcase your company, highlight your equipment and strengths, and bid directly on real tenders. You also see real market prices for comparable routes, helping you price competitively and avoid guesswork.

Is the Freight Marketplace platform free of charge?

Yes — you can join Transporeonʼs Freight Exchange for free.

We offer two plans for carriers looking to bid on spot and contracted tenders:

 

  • Free Plan – €0/month:
    You can bid on up to 10 tenders per week. This is ideal if you want to test the platform or pick up occasional spot loads. Some features, such as full contact details and market prices, are limited.

  • Pro Plan – €99/month or €990/year:
    With the Pro Plan, you can bid on unlimited tenders, access full shipper and forwarder contact details, see market prices for comparable routes, and add unlimited users from your company.

 

If you choose the yearly plan, you save €198 compared to paying monthly.

 

Every new carrier receives 30 days of full access to all Pro Plan features — risk free. Monthly plans can be cancelled anytime. Annual plans can be cancelled with two monthsʼ notice before renewal.

How can I activate, change or cancel my subscription?

You can manage your subscription directly inside Transporeonʼs Freight Exchange.

Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time. Annual plans can be cancelled with two monthsʼ notice before renewal.

Is there a free trial period?

Yes. Every new carrier gets 30 days of full access to the Pro Plan— completely free. During this time, you can bid on unlimited spot and contracted tenders, see full shipper and forwarder contact details, and access market prices — with no restrictions. When the 30-day trial ends, your account automatically switches to the Free Plan. There are no hidden charges and no automatic payments. If you want to continue with unlimited access, you can activate the Basic Plan at any time in the Subscriptions & Billing section inside the platform.

Are the carriers and forwarders on the platform vetted?

Yes. Every company must be verified before gaining full access to Transporeonʼs Freight Exchange.

 

We review key documents such as:

  • VAT ID
  • Company registration
  • Cargo insurance

  • EU transport licence (for asset- based carriers, and if operations are in the EU 

This ensures the platform remains a secure, neutral environment where professional companies can do business with confidence.
