I have found Findatruckload to be a valuable tool in linking our business with regional carriers to source cost effective cartage solutions. The website is very user-friendly and the contracted carriers have made quick contact to confirm details and have been very reliable. Findatruckload has been mentioned a number of times at management level in our business to encourage further use across all departments.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for arranging for PB Transport to collect the pallets this afternoon. We greatly appreciate your support and making this happen. The Samoan community that were at the church hall this afternoon were shocked to see the truck and the load that came off it..... The elders were just stunned at the generosity shown."
We at East Coast Harvest Hawkes Bay find your site easy and friendly to use. I would like to put it out there that I personally have 18 plus years in transport, and have found this site to be a life saver from time to time.It has also brought compition back into play. So all you people out there, give it go, what have you got to lose!
We absolutely love using Findatruckload, the website is very easy to use and the costs are explained well so there is no confusion . Once a load is accepted contact details are made available instantly so transport can be organized. Thanks for a very well done user friendly site!
We have been dealing with find-a-truck-load since they have started and have found them to be very good at finding loads and getting loads out of areas that we don’t normally go to.Their payment system works well and we find them to be fair. We personally think it is a very good system and hope that more people come on line to support it.
A great tool, quick and easy to use with intuitive tabs. Web based ‘trade me’ type quoting for loads has been a great success in the USA and Europe and findatruckload should do it for New Zealand.
Awesome idea Andrew, I've already posted a small load we want moved, let's hope this idea gets up and running well for you and the freight companies begin to support it and they respond quickly when we need to shift something. We spend up to $20k/month on heavy machinery freight although it is the quiet season now. We usually like to stick with our regular suppliers for local shifts, but when we're moving stuff further afield it should be especially useful.
