Submitting loads to the system

a) Clearing houses and 'phoenix' companies whose business was registered less than 1 year ago are no longer tolerated.
Note: by 'clearing house', we mean 'man with a phone in a shed' type operation. Distribution centres, warehouses etc. are of course welcome, the main criteria is that payment for work done is consistent and prompt.
Any company who we discover have gone into liquidation and set up under a new name i.e. 'phoenix companies' will be barred.

b) Backload requests: Shippers must be willing to pay a minimum of 50% standard rate for return load deliveries, we actively discourage the use of our web site to demean or devalue the haulage industry by accepting offers which could only be described as cynical. We also reserve to right to bar any company from posting work on the system who either abuses the system or who generates complaints from our transporter members regarding poor or non-payment in respect of work carried out.

c) Your payment terms must be 30 days or less from receipt of invoice and POD.
