Account & registration
How do I create an account? ▾
Click "Sign up free" → fill in your personal details (name, email, phone, password) → fill in your company details (name, VAT/CUI) → confirm your email. The whole process takes ~2 minutes.
What account types are there? ▾
Carrier (searches freight, offers trucks, bids on auctions), Broker (searches and offers, hybrid), Direct Client (posts freight, organises auctions), Partner (special role for platform partners).
Can I have multiple users under the same company? ▾
Yes. From Settings → Sub-users, the main account can add team members with their own permissions. Limits depend on the subscription plan.
How do I reset my password? ▾
On the Sign in page there's a "Forgot password" link. You'll receive an email with a reset link valid for 1 hour.
Freight & trucks
Who can post freight? ▾
Only Direct Client and Broker accounts can publish freight listings. Carriers search freight and respond to offers.
How does city autocomplete work? ▾
We have a database of 9,631 European cities from GeoNames. Start typing 2+ letters and the system quickly suggests locations with country and postal code.
Can I edit a listing after I've posted it? ▾
Yes, only the original poster can modify the listing. Once assigned to a carrier, it becomes an order and can only be updated via status changes.
Auctions
What is an auction? ▾
A request for offers with a fixed deadline. You post the freight, set a starting price (max accepted), an optional reserve price (below which you won't award), and a closing date. Carriers place bids under the starting price. At close, you pick the winner (manually or automatically, the lowest bid).
Can I withdraw a bid? ▾
Yes, anytime before the auction closes, if your bid hasn't already been declared the winner.
What happens after I win an auction? ▾
The system automatically creates an order with a unique ID (CMD-2026-XXXXX) and connects you with the shipper for loading. The other participants' bids are automatically marked as rejected.
Orders & payment
What's the order flow? ▾
Open → Accepted → Loaded → Delivered → Closed. At each stage, both parties receive a notification. On close, both parties rate each other.
How does payment work? ▾
Payment happens directly between parties, according to agreed clauses. TransportHub doesn't currently broker financial transactions.
Can I report a payment delay? ▾
Yes, via the Incidents section. The "Payment delay" category creates a two-way report, and the other party has right of reply.
Incidents & safety
How does the incident system work? ▾
You can file a report against a company (category: damaged cargo, late delivery, no show, payment delay, fraud, etc.). The other party can reply. Incidents become public only after admin approval.
What is the blacklist? ▾
From Settings → Blacklist you can block a company. Their listings won't show up in your results and they won't be able to bid on your auctions.
Is my data protected? ▾
Yes, GDPR-compliant. Read the details in the Privacy Policy.
