For shippers, on the UK freight exchangeHow to post a load and get it moved.
Got something to move: a pallet, a part-load, or a full artic? Post it on Laydn in under a minute and carriers across the UK can express interest. You get notified, you pick who moves it, and you pay no commission. Here's exactly how it works.
- 0% commission
- You set the price
- UK-wide carriers
Posting a load
Post your load in under a minute.
No account managers, no quote forms, no waiting. Tell Laydn what you need moving and where, and it's live on the board for hauliers across the UK to see straight away.
Add your collection and delivery points, the vehicle and body you need, the weight, your price and any notes: pallets, fragile goods, tail-lift, whatever matters. Post it for collection today or any future date, and you're done.
- Collection and delivery, vehicle, weight, price and notes
- Post for today or schedule a future collection date
- Live on the UK board as soon as you post
Reach
Your load reaches every carrier, straight away.
As soon as you post, your load is on the live board for hauliers nationwide. But Laydn goes further than an ordinary board: carriers who've set up Laydr alerts for your area get a push notification when your load lands, so the right drivers know about it without even looking.
That means more eyes, faster. Owner drivers, courier firms and fleets across the UK, plus the ones actively watching your route, all reached as soon as you hit post.
- Live on the board for every carrier nationwide
- Pushed straight to drivers watching your area via Laydr
- No waiting for someone to happen to scroll past it
Interest & award
Carriers express interest. You choose.
When a haulier wants your load, they express interest in-app, and you get a notification straight away, on your phone and in your inbox. No phones ringing off the hook, no chasing: the interested carriers come to you, in one place.
Because you set the price up front, every carrier who puts their hand up already knows the rate. You review who's interested (their company, any note they've added and the documents they've uploaded) and award the job to the one you want in a tap. Once you award it, you and the carrier get each other's contact details to sort the pickup.
- Carriers express interest in-platform: you're notified straight away
- No middleman, no commission, no platform cut
- You pick the carrier and award it in a tap

How to post a load and get it moved in the UK
Laydn is a UK freight exchange that connects businesses who need goods moved with hauliers who have the vehicles to move them. If you need to post a load (anything from a single pallet to a full articulated lorry) you can have it live in front of carriers across Britain in under a minute, and pay no commission on the job.
It's a simpler, cheaper way to move freight than going through a broker or a parcel courier. There's no middleman adding a markup, no quote process, and no platform taking a slice of the rate. You post what you need, you set the price, and carriers come to you.
What you can post
Pallets, part-loads, full loads, fragile or temperature-controlled goods: if it needs a van, a rigid or an artic, you can post it. Choose the vehicle and body type you need, add the weight and any handling notes, and set a collection date for today or any day ahead so you can plan deliveries in advance.
Reaching the right carriers
As soon as you post, your load is on the live board for every carrier on Laydn. And because hauliers can set Laydr alerts for the areas and routes they cover, the right drivers get a push notification when your load matches, so your freight reaches the carriers most likely to move it, fast.
No commission, no broker markup
Traditional haulage brokers and pallet networks make their money on the margin between what you pay and what the carrier gets. On Laydn there is no margin and no commission: you deal with the carrier directly and agree the rate between you. One flat membership, unlimited users, no per-load fees.

Questions
Posting a load on Laydn
How do I post a load on Laydn?
Sign up free, then add your collection and delivery points, the vehicle and body type you need, the weight, your price and any notes. Post it for collection today or a future date and it goes live on the UK board straight away. Carriers can then express interest, you're notified, and you award the job to the carrier you choose.
How much does it cost to post a load?
Laydn is free during launch. After that it's one simple flat membership for everyone, whether you post loads, carry them, or both, with unlimited users and no commission. Laydn never takes a cut of the rate you agree with the carrier.
Who sees my load once I post it?
Your load goes live on the board for carriers across the UK: owner drivers, courier firms and hauliers. Carriers who've set up Laydr alerts for your area also get a push notification when your load matches their patch, so the right drivers know about it straight away.
Do I have to haggle or run an auction?
No. You set your price when you post, so there are no bidding wars. Carriers who express interest already know the rate: they take it or they don't. You choose which carrier moves your load and award it in a tap.
What kind of loads can I post?
Anything from a single pallet in a van to a full articulated lorry. Choose the vehicle and body type you need (van, Luton, rigid, curtainsider, fridge, artic and more), add the weight and any handling notes, and post it.
Does Laydn take commission on my load?
Never. There's no commission and no broker markup. You deal with the carrier directly and pay the rate you agreed between you. Laydn only charges one flat membership, the same for everyone.
Is there an API for posting loads?
Yes. If you run a TMS or your own booking system, it can send loads straight onto the Laydn board through our API, so nobody has to type them in twice. The same connection can update or withdraw a load, award the job and sign it off. Email hello@laydn.co.uk or send us a message and we'll set you up with a key and the developer docs.
