Beware of this website. There is no trial as you get charged anyway. Very hard to cancel membership as they will say it is cancelled but no email confirmation from their side and you will get charged another couple months anyway. Do not give your card details. There are only contacts for potential jobs on the website and if someone will reply, they will expect you to do the job to cover your fuel cost only.

I have been using returnloads for a while now to which I have found it to be money well spent. It offers a great network platform and I have been able to find loads (which is ideal in the current economic climate) and advertise loads. Cant rate this company highly enough

FREE TRAIL SCAM !! with 60 days notice to cancel! Their website is designed to cheat you into paying without your knowledge. I tried to sign up over the weekend of a Trail to see if its right for my business. They offer you instant access to their 14 day trail but the moment they have your card you are charged.. ITS A SCAM! DO NOT FALL FOR IT!! I tried calling and they offered me 14 days trail at the end of the charged month!! like What the @@, How does that make sense? Why would I try something a month after you have charged me almost 50 for it. I repeat, ITS A SCAM, there is no such thing

Does exactly what it says on the tin at a fair price without being stuck in a 12 month contract like the other platform. This freight exchange has plenty of genuine fresh loads posted every day by reputable companies. You can find back loads from virtually anywhere in the country so you will never need to run empty again.
