## Step 1: Register and choose a plan
1. Go to the [Register page](https://www.laaimylorrie.com/members/register.aspx). You can also use **Members** then **Register** in the top menu.
2. Under **Membership Packages**, pick **Basic Member**, **Pro Member**, **Gold Member** or **Driver**, and click **Order Now**.
3. Fill in the **Register as a Member** form and click **Submit**.
4. Check your basket, click **Submit Order** and choose how you want to pay.

The full steps are in [Create an account](/create-an-account). The plans and prices are in [Membership plans](/membership-plans).

## Step 2: Confirm your e-mail address
We send you an e-mail with the subject **Laaimylorrie - Confirm your email address**.

1. Open the e-mail.
2. Click **Confirm email address**.
3. You will see **Success: Address Confirmed**.

> **Tip:** If the e-mail does not arrive within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder.

## Step 3: Log in

Your membership becomes active once your payment is confirmed. Until then, logging in takes you to the **Billing** page, where you can see your order.

## Step 4: Find your way around the dashboard
After you log in you land on the **Dashboard**.

- **Top bar:** the envelope icon opens **My Inbox** (messages from other members and the site). The bell icon opens **My Notifications**. A number on the icon shows how many new items are waiting.
- **Your name and photo:** click them to open **My Profile**, where you can update your details and password.
- **Left menu:** this is where all the tools live.

| Menu item | What you do there |
|---|---|
| **Dashboard** | Your overview: notifications, latest cargo loads, news and quote requests |
| **Billing** | **Sales Orders** (your invoices and orders) and **Foreign Exchange** |
| **My Company** | **Profile**, **Documents**, **Articles**, **Social Links** and **Photo Gallery** for your directory listing |
| **My Fleet** | Vehicles, drivers, movement orders, route planner, issues, reminders, maintenance, parts and locations |
| **My Freight** | **My Cargo Loads**, freight **Documents**, **Cargo Loads of Interest** and **Available Cargo Loads** |
| **RFQ's** | **RFQ's of interest**, **My RFQ's** and **View All** |
| **Marketplace** | Your classified adverts for trucks, trailers and spares |

> **Note:** Drivers see a different menu called **Driver Profile**, with **My Profile**, **Vehicles**, **Movement Orders**, **Locations** and **Documents**.

## Step 5: What to do first
Do these in order. Each one takes a few minutes.

1. **Create your company profile.** Open **My Company** then **Profile**. Without a company profile you will not receive quotation requests (RFQs) or cargo load notifications. See [Business directory](/business-directory).
2. **Upload a company document.** Open **My Company** then **Documents** and upload at least one of: a bank confirmation letter, a business registration document or a business tax certificate (PDF only). This is needed to activate your company profile.
3. **Add your trucks.** Open **My Fleet**, then **Vehicles**, then **Vehicle List**, and click **Add Vehicle**. Tick **Publish on website** to show a truck on the Available Trucks page. See [Adding trucks](/adding-trucks).
4. **Post a load, if you have cargo.** Open **My Freight** then **My Cargo Loads** and click **Add Cargo Load**. See [Adding cargo loads](/adding-cargo-loads).
5. **Check your settings.** Open **Settings** and choose which e-mail and site notifications you want, including your **Renewal Reminder**.
