About

Smart Backload

Read full description

Smart Backload is built to solve one of the most costly problems in logistics: empty return trips. Transporters often struggle to find loads for their return routes, leading to wasted capacity and lost revenue. At the same time, brokers and shippers face delays in finding reliable transport. Smart Backload bridges this gap by connecting available trucks with the right freight in real time. With Smart Backload, transporters can easily publish their truck availability, routes, and capacity, making it visible to a network of freight brokers and logistics managers actively looking for transport. Brokers can submit offers, create RFQs, or open loads for competitive bidding, ensuring they get the best possible rates while maintaining flexibility. The platform uses intelligent matching to align loads with suitable trucks based on route, timing, and requirements, reducing manual coordination and speeding up decision-making. Once a deal is confirmed, both parties can connect directly to manage pickup and delivery efficiently. Smart Backload helps increase truck utilization, reduce empty mileage, and improve earnings per trip, while also enabling businesses to move freight faster and more reliably. It is designed for truck owners, fleet operators, freight brokers, and logistics teams looking to streamline operations through a simple and effective digital marketplace.

About

Ferry Carry Logistics

Read full description

FerryCarry is a freight marketplace that connects shippers who need goods moved directly with drivers who operate trucks, lorries and vans. Shippers post loads and collect offers; drivers find loads that fit their route and make offers. Both sides agree on a price and message each other in the app, without brokers or endless phone calls. FOR SHIPPERS • Post a load: pickup and delivery address, weight, cargo type and date, with optional photos and video • Request a specific vehicle instead of entering a weight: choose the vehicle and body type • Compare incoming offers on one screen, accept one or send a counter-offer • Find Vehicle: see trips that match your load, or search by departure and arrival • Track your listings, their status and their offers in one place • Share your listing with a single link FOR DRIVERS • Find Load: browse the latest listings or see loads that fit your trip's route • Publish your trip with your route, capacity and the cargo types you carry, so shippers can find you • Add your vehicles and documents and follow their approval status • Send price offers and negotiate inside the app • Stop running empty on the return leg FOR SHIPPERS AND DRIVERS • Offers, counter-offers and acceptance in one flow • In-app messaging between shipper and driver • Push notifications for new offers, replies and messages • Available in English, Turkish, Arabic, Dutch and Russian • Light and dark theme FerryCarry is a listing and matching platform only. It does not transport goods and is not a party to the transport contract between shipper and driver. Payment is arranged directly between the shipper and the driver, outside the app.
