The whole board.
Free right now.
Post loads, take them, or both — your whole team, unlimited users, no commission. Free while we grow the board, then just £44.99 a month for everyone. The kind of deal no other load board will give you.
One price. Everyone. Everything in.
Post, carry, or do both — it's the same £44.99 a month for everyone. Most boards charge you to post, charge you to bid, charge you per seat, then take a cut on top. Laydn doesn't. Here's the honest comparison.
| What you get | Laydn — £44.99/mo | Typical load board |
|---|---|---|
| Post loads | Included | Often a separate paid plan |
| Find & take loads | Included | Usually a different subscription again |
| Users across your business | Unlimited | Priced per seat — pay for every login |
| Commission per load | 0% — never | A cut on what you move |
| Contract / tie-in | None | 12-month minimums common |
| Day-route planner & backloads | Built in | Not available |
Comparison reflects common load-board pricing structures. One flat Laydn membership covers your whole operation.
It plans your day. Not just lists loads.
Built by people who've run the wheels, not a marketing team. Laydn does things the old boards simply don't.
Your day, planned.
Give it a start point, a date and your vehicle. Planr chains live loads into a full day's work that actually fits — minimum empty miles, looped back home. A day's route in one tap.
Never run home empty.
Open any load and Laydn instantly shows the best return runs from near the drop — matched on your vehicle, the timing and the money. Turn a one-way job into a round trip.
Loads find you.
Set your patch — postcode, radius, the hours you want — and Laydr pings you the moment a matching load hits the board. Push notification straight to your phone. Stop refreshing, start driving.

Freight exchange FAQs
Everything hauliers and shippers ask about posting loads, finding return loads, and how the flat-fee membership works.
What is a freight exchange and how does Laydn work?
A freight exchange (or load board) is an online marketplace where shippers post loads that need moving and hauliers find loads to carry. Laydn is a UK freight exchange where you post a load — route, vehicle, weight and details — and carriers across Britain express interest. You're notified, you pick the carrier you want, and you award them the job. Hauliers browse the live board, filter for return loads that fit, or get alerted automatically. There's no commission and no middleman.
How much does Laydn cost?
Laydn is free during launch while we grow the board. After that it's one simple flat fee — £44.99 a month for everyone, whether you post loads, carry them, or do both. That includes unlimited users across your business, with no commission, no per-load fees, no per-seat charges and no contracts.
Does Laydn charge commission on loads?
No. Laydn never takes a commission or a cut of what you move. Unlike many load boards that charge a percentage per load, the price posted is the price paid. You pay one flat monthly membership and keep every penny of the rate you agree.
How do I find return loads and backloads?
Open any load on Laydn and our backload engine instantly shows the best return runs from near the drop-off — matched on your vehicle, the timing and the money — so you never run home empty. You can also use Planr to chain several loads into a full day's route that loops you back home, and set up Laydr alerts to get a notification the moment a matching load lands near you.
Can my whole team use one Laydn account?
Yes. Laydn gives you unlimited users on one membership, so your whole business — drivers, planners, office staff — can all log in at no extra cost. Most load boards charge per seat; Laydn doesn't. One flat fee covers everyone.
Is Laydn good for owner drivers and small hauliers?
Absolutely. Laydn is built for owner drivers, small fleets and larger hauliers alike. A single flat fee with no commission and no per-seat charges means the maths works whether you run one van or fifty trucks. It's designed to be used one-handed from the cab, and you can add it to your phone like an app.
What types of vehicles and loads can I post?
Anything from a single pallet in a van to a full articulated lorry. You can post and filter by vehicle type and body — vans, Luton vans, rigids, artics, curtainsiders, fridges and more — plus weight, route and date, so carriers find exactly what fits their wheels.
Can I post loads for future collection dates?
Yes. You can post a load for collection today or for any date ahead, so you can line up future work in advance. Loads stay live on the board until they're taken or you remove them — what you see is real, available freight, not stale listings.
Ready to keep your wheels turning?
It's free to join right now while we grow the board. Post your first load or grab a return run in under a minute — and when paid plans start, it's one simple price for everyone: £44.99 a month, whatever you do on it.
