This tutorial shows you how to post a cargo load on the load board, keep it up to date and get the right transporters to see it. It is for freight forwarders, brokers and cargo owners with a paid membership.

## How do I post a cargo load?
1. Log in and open **My Freight** then **My Cargo Loads**.
2. Click **Add Cargo Load**.
3. **Step 1: Choose Pickup & Destination Locations.** Select the departure country and enter the **Departure City**. Then select the destination country and enter the **Destination City**.
4. Click **Submit**. The site shows the route on a map.
5. **Step 2: Specify Load Details.** Fill in the form (see the table below).
6. Click **Save**. You see **Success: New Entry**.

Your load now shows on the load board.

| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| **Commodity** | What you are moving, for example maize or copper |
| **Load Weight** | The weight in tonnes |
| **Trailer Type & QTY Required** | The trailer type and how many trucks you need. Choose **I'm not sure, please advise** if you don't know |
| **Distance** | Filled in from the map route |
| **Load Date** | When the load must be picked up |
| **Load Recurrence** | **Once Off**, **On Going**, **Daily** or **Monthly** |
| **Pricing Structure** | **Price per Tonage**, **Price per Kilometer**, **Price per Load** or **Price per Litre** |
| **Price** | Your price and currency. Enter 0.00 if you are unsure and want to receive quotes |
| **Payment Period** | **Cash**, **14 Days**, **30 Days** or **Default** |
| **Contact Person**, **Telephone Number**, **Mobile Number** | Who transporters should contact |
| **Description** | A short description of the load and any special needs |

> **Note:** Members who open your load can see the contact person and mobile number you enter. Use details you are happy to share.

## What is the difference between once-off and recurring loads?
- **Once Off** is a single load. It is archived automatically a while after its load date, so the board stays current.
- **On Going**, **Daily** and **Monthly** loads repeat. They stay on the board until you edit or delete them.

> **Tip:** Delete a recurring load as soon as the work is no longer available, so transporters don't contact you for nothing.

## How do I edit a load?
1. Open **My Freight** then **My Cargo Loads**.
2. Click the load in the list.
3. Change the details.
4. Click **Save**. You see **Success: Entry Updated**.

## How do I delete a load?
1. Open **My Freight** then **My Cargo Loads**.
2. Click the delete (bin) icon next to the load.
3. Confirm with **Delete**. You see **Success: Entry Deleted**.

## How many loads can I post?
That depends on your plan: 15 for Basic Member, 25 for Pro Member and unlimited for Gold Member. When you reach your limit you see **Warning: User Limit Reached**. Delete old loads or click **Upgrade Membership**. See [Membership plans](/membership-plans).

## How do other members see my load?
Your load is listed on the [Cargo Loads page](https://www.laaimylorrie.com/truck_loads.aspx) (**Loads** then **View all Loads**). Visitors can filter the list by trailer type and by country, and see loads on a map.

- **Everyone** can see the list: the route, load date, recurrence, views and comments.
- **Only logged-in members** can open the full load details. Visitors who are not logged in see **Members Only** and are asked to log in or register.

On the details page, members see the pickup and delivery points, the distance and estimated fuel, the date, price, payment terms, recurrence and your contact details. They can click **Contact** to send you a message, leave a comment, or **Report** the listing.

Messages and comments arrive in **My Inbox** and by e-mail. Your list in **My Cargo Loads** shows the number of **Views** and **Comments** for each load.

## Who gets notified about a new load?
When you post a load, the site sends notifications automatically:

- **Transporters with listed trucks** get an inbox message and an e-mail if their published truck works in the pickup or delivery country, or uses the same trailer type.
- **E-mail subscribers** who signed up for new loads in the pickup or delivery country get an e-mail with the load details.

## How do I get alerts for new loads?
- **Members:** list your trucks and tick **Publish on website**. You are then notified when a matching load is posted. See [Adding trucks](/adding-trucks). You can also open **My Freight** then **Cargo Loads of Interest** to see loads that match your fleet, or **Available Cargo Loads** to see the latest loads.
- **Visitors who are not logged in:** on the Cargo Loads page, use **Subscribe for New Loads**. Enter your e-mail address, select a country and click **Submit**. Every e-mail has an unsubscribe link.

## How do I add documents to a load?
You can keep freight documents with a load and share them with your transporter.

1. Open **My Freight** then **Documents**.
2. Click **Add Document**.
3. Select the cargo load and the **Document Type**: **Cross Border Document**, **Freight Invoice**, **Proof of Delivery** or **Waybill Document**.
4. Choose the file. Only PDF files are allowed.
5. Tick **Allow transporter access** if your transporter should be able to see it.
6. Click **Submit**.
