What is a Backload and How Does it Benefit the Customer?
A Backload occurs when a Transport Provider offers a discounted rate to move freight on the return leg of their journey. For example, if a provider is delivering freight from Location A to B, their truck will typically return empty from B to A. To make this return trip more efficient and cost-effective, they may offer a lower rate to transport goods on the way back.
How does this benefit you?
As a customer, you can secure a cheaper rate by aligning your move with a provider’s return trip. By listing your job on Truckit.net, your request becomes visible to our network of 8,000+ Transport Providers, many of whom actively search for backload opportunities.
Tip: Backload quotes are often time-sensitive. If a provider is ready to return and places a competitive quote, it may only be valid for a short period — so act quickly if the offer suits your needs!
