Where the open orders are
Open orders are not listed publicly – they go straight into the app of registered drivers. There is a practical reason: an order carries an address, a contact and a time window, and those do not belong in an open directory.
Pre-filtered, not a list
You only see orders that fit your vehicle class and operating area – no scrolling through hundreds of offers that were never an option.
Push, not refresh
Matching orders arrive as a notification. Whoever accepts quickly gets the order – nobody has to reload a page every minute.
Pay before you commit
Route, time window and pay are stated in the order before you accept. No bidding, no renegotiating.
Three steps to your first order
- 1
Register and upload your documents
Business registration, driving licence, vehicle registration and – depending on vehicle class – a road haulage permit. Verification runs digitally, with no on-site appointment.
- 2
Receive matching orders
You record your vehicle class and operating area. After that you only see orders that fit – with route, time window and pay, before you commit.
- 3
Drive, capture proof, get paid
The app guides you through pickup and delivery and captures digital proof of delivery. Settlement runs automatically through the platform – no chasing invoices.
Orders by vehicle and business type
Transport orders up to 3.5 tonnes
The entry point into commercial haulage: below 3.5 t permitted gross weight you need no road haulage permit – a business registration and insurance are enough.
Transport orders for the self-employed
Drive as a sole trader or subcontractor, without a subscription fee and without a bidding process – you see the pay before you commit.
Transport orders for vans
Courier runs, spare parts, single pallets: orders for panel vans and Sprinters in regional traffic – plannable and usually without an overnight stay.
A freight exchange without a subscription
Freight exchange, transport exchange, marketplace – the words are used interchangeably, but the business models behind them differ considerably.
What runs differently here compared with classic freight exchanges
No fee for contacts
Classic exchanges sell access: you pay monthly or per bid, whether or not it turns into an order. Here the platform only earns once an order has actually been driven.
Price before acceptance
No bidding process where the cheapest provider wins and the margin collapses. The pay is stated in the order before you accept it.
Proof of delivery included
Signature, photo and GPS timestamp are captured in the app. That is not just convenience – in a dispute, the proof decides who is liable.
Settlement runs through the platform
No individual invoice to every client, no dunning process. Payment is part of the order flow.
What you need to bring
Anyone carrying goods commercially for third parties in Germany needs different credentials depending on vehicle weight. This overview shows what applies to which class.
| Permitted gross weight | Permit | Note |
|---|---|---|
| up to 3.5 t | Business registration, no road haulage permit | The entry point for courier and light transport – workable as a one-person business |
| above 3.5 t | Permit under § 3 GüKG or an EU licence | Requires professional competence, financial standing and good repute |
| all classes | Goods-in-transit liability insurance | No order is released without a valid policy |
This overview is not legal advice. The GüKG and the conditions set by your competent authority govern – when in doubt, ask your chamber of commerce or the BALM.
