Absolutely not!
Joining Truckit as a provider is entirely free. You will not incur any sign-up fees or subscription charges.
In fact, Truckit can help you save money by filling those empty back loads and offering a straightforward and efficient system to manage several jobs in one location.
Truckit earns revenue by collecting a deposit fee from each quote to cover expenses and invest in areas like marketing to generate more job opportunities for you.
The deposit fee is a percentage of the Total Quote Amount and is structured on a sliding scale based on the job value, meaning that higher value jobs will have a lower percentage fee. The simplest way to determine the deposit fee for any quote is to utilise our smart calculator, which will appear when you click "Add Quote" on any active job.
When providing a quote for a job, you will notice two boxes:
- 'Total Quote Amount (incl Truckit fee)' (this represents the total cost to the customer)
- 'Provider's Amount (excl Truckit fee)' (this is the amount you receive for the job, including GST if you are registered)
The difference between these two amounts is the Truckit deposit fee. For quotes with the payment terms 'Truckit Pay', the deposit fee will be automatically deducted from the Total Quote Amount securely held on your behalf, with the Provider's Amount released to your designated bank account upon confirmed delivery of the job.
For jobs with alternative payment terms (available only on bookings over $5000), the customer will only pay the Truckit deposit fee through Truckit. You will then collect the remaining 'Provider's Amount' directly from the customer.
