The sums, worked through
Twelve loads a month at £450 each, from a mover's side.
| A typical subscription exchange | HaulageBoard | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly, per licence | £160 to £180 | £9.89 |
| Minimum term | 12 months | None |
| Paid before your first load | About £1,900 plus VAT | £0 |
| Joining or accreditation fee | Around £169 | None |
| Per completed load | Nothing extra | £2.98 |
| Twelve loads in a month | £160 to £180 | £45.65 |
| Waiting for the money | 30 to 60 days | 1 to 2 days from POD |
Those figures are the published owner driver prices of the two largest UK freight exchanges, checked in August 2026. Both sell 12 month packages only, billed up front, with a joining fee on top and VAT on all of it. Cheaper boards exist, from around £30 a month, and they are worth a look too. We have named nobody and we would rather you checked the numbers yourself.
We are new, so the board is smaller than theirs. That is the honest trade. What you get back is cheaper access, no contract, money in days instead of months, and a score that turns into real advantage rather than a badge.
Questions
Why do movers pay and posters do not?
Because posters are the scarce side. A firm that ships eight loads a year is not going to pay a subscription for the privilege of giving work to the board, and if they walk away there is nothing for movers to quote on. Movers pay because finding work is their income, and £9.89 against one £450 load is not a hard sum.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep quoting until the end of the month you have paid for, then you drop back to browsing. Your score, badges, reviews, PODs and invoices all stay, and you can export the lot at any point, member or not. Cancelling is one tap in the billing portal. There is no retention maze.
Is there a contract or a minimum term?
No. It is month to month. Stop whenever you like.
What is the £2.98 for?
It is the flat fee on a completed load, charged to each side once the job is done and money has moved. It is not a commission, so it does not go up because the load was worth more.
