Useful details create better conversations.

A town name and a date rarely tell the whole story. Vehicle body, usable capacity, load dimensions, access, time windows, handling and direction all affect whether freight and an empty vehicle are a sensible fit.

Straight answers

Return loads UK: frequently asked questions

What is a return load?

A return load is freight carried on a vehicle that would otherwise travel back empty, or with spare capacity, after another delivery. The collection, delivery, timing, vehicle and commercial terms still need to be agreed for each movement.

Is Return Loads UK a public load board?

No. Return Loads UK is an enquiry and capacity-matching website operated by Logic Freight. Share a load, an available vehicle or your interest in subcontractor work; the transport team then reviews the details and contacts relevant parties.

Can owner-drivers register an available vehicle?

Yes. Owner-drivers and transport companies can share vehicle availability or register interest in subcontractor work. Registration does not guarantee a load or ongoing work, and operational and compliance details will be checked before any movement is agreed.

Can a business submit a one-off or recurring load?

Yes. The load form supports both individual movements and recurring requirements. Include accurate collection and delivery points, dates, goods, weight or pallet details and any handling constraints so the enquiry can be assessed properly.
