An important part of your Truckit profile is letting your customers know what kind of business you are in terms of size and how you operate. 


When creating or editing your profile, Truckit requires you to select from one of the three 'Provider Type' options outlined below. Your selected Provider Type will be displayed as an icon on both your quotes and your public Truckit profile. 


Provider Type:Explanation:Tips/Examples:
Owner Driver This type of provider generally has one or two trucks/vehicles in their business and is solely responsible for the delivery of freight items. They will handle everything from pickup through to delivery.

Sometimes other family members can be involved such as a husband-wife or father-son/daughter team, but they will be personally responsible and handle everything from quoting on your job right through until delivery.		If your ABN is registered as a 'Sole Trader/Individual', you would most likely be considered an Owner Driver—unless you don’t handle any of the freight yourself and instead subcontract the work out. In that case, you would more likely fall under the category of an Agent or Freight Broker.
 Transport Organisation

Transport Organisation is a corporation, partnership or other commercial entity with two or more people having a joint or common interest.


With 2 or more vehicles and drivers, it is you and your company who will handle the delivery of the customers goods. On the majority of your jobs you do not use subcontractors.

If you do happen to subcontract the occasional job out, you should ensure you use the Subcontracting Flag on the relevant quotes to make it clear to the customer.

- Removalist business with several trucks and drivers


If your ABN is registered as a 'Sole Trader' then you can not be considered a Transport Organisation on Truckit




Agent/Freight BrokerAgents/Brokers do not actually handle any deliveries but rather use a network of carriers to move customer's freight.


ABN type may vary.
