Hi guys, has anyone ever heard of a website called load up? It looks like it similar to mtvan.

I've gone to register and they're asking for payment before you can do anything on it. I was just wondering if anyone on here had any experience with them before i commit to parting with any money as we are still a relatively new company.

There are 2 x exchange sites and you're on one of em... The rest just don't cut it and are full of eBay moves.

If thats your bag then fair enough, but if you're looking for the real stuff then avoid

They've been around a long time.

Although I have never got the impression that they're a scam I would not part with any money before I was more confident about what I'd be getting (note: this does not necessarily mean getting work straight off the bat, networking is important and will help in the future). Payment at point of registration wouldn't cut it for me.

This is one of there quote on the home page "Loadup is the industry standard freight exchange for courier and haulage backloads, praised by Lord Sugar as 'icing on the cake for the return-load road freight industry' in the daily mirror's spoonful of sugar column" its abit hard to believe really if you ask me

I almost got sucked into it but thought i would ask you guys first to see what you thought about it. At least on mtvan people on here know what they are talking about
