Why Choose Truckscanner Premium for Your Haulage Business

In road freight, speed wins. While your competitors check emails hours later, miss opportunities and bid blindly, you could already have secured the load. The difference? The right tools that let you work smarter, not harder.

Truckscanner is the only freight exchange offering free registration and bidding forever. But if you want maximum value, if you want to transform how you work and win more contracts, Truckscanner Premium is an investment that pays for itself with just one extra job per month.

In this article, you'll discover all Premium features designed for those who really work on the road, and why it's always worth it.

The Carrier's Real Office: The Smartphone

In road freight, your phone is your mobile office. Whether on the motorway, at a loading bay or taking a coffee break, your smartphone is always with you. That's where client calls come in, where you organise trips, where you run your business.

The problem? Most freight exchanges force you to constantly open the app or website to check for new loads. You miss opportunities while driving, while unloading, while on the phone with a client.

WhatsApp Business Notifications: The Mobile Revolution

Truckscanner is the only freight exchange with WhatsApp Business integration. No other platform offers this. Here's how it works:

When a freight request matching your preferences (areas covered, cargo type, vehicle available) is posted, you instantly receive a WhatsApp notification. The message contains all essential information: shipper, pickup location and date, destination, cargo type, weight, specific requirements.

But the real game-changer is the "magic link": every notification includes a link that takes you directly to the bidding page, already authenticated. No login needed, no searching for the load, no navigating the platform. Click the link and you're in, ready to enter your price and confirm. All in under 30 seconds.

Speed = Victory

While your competitors must receive an email notification (if they see it), open the app or site, log in and then bid, you've already closed with a tap on the WhatsApp link while queuing at the toll booth.

Your Professional Website Without the Hassle

How many owner-operators and small hauliers have a professional website? Very few. Building a site costs time and money, maintaining it requires technical skills, getting it found on Google is a challenge.

With Truckscanner Premium, you get a professional web showcase that's automatically created from your profile: no watermark, indexed on Google, with a form for private quote requests. Clients find you online, contact you directly, and the request arrives on your WhatsApp.

Two Business Channels in One

With Premium WhatsApp notifications, you manage two completely different workflows the same way:

Public Marketplace: Receive notifications for loads matching your preferences, compete with other carriers on price and service. Perfect for filling trips and reducing empty runs.

Private Requests from Showcase: Receive exclusive requests without competition, the client chose you specifically. Higher margins and direct relationships.

Both arrive on the same WhatsApp, with the same immediacy and ease of use.

Win More Contracts with Premium Information

The difference between winning or losing a contract often comes down to a few euros. But how do you know the right price? How do you assess the shipper's reliability? How do you decide if competing for that load is worthwhile?

Shipper Budget: Know What They Can Pay

With Premium, you see the budget the shipper has set for transport. If the budget is €1,500 and you were about to offer €1,100, you know there's room. Bid €1,350 and win. You've earned €250 more than bidding blindly.

Financial Rating: Avoid Bad Payers

Before bidding, see the shipper's financial rating. Low rating? You can still bid, but request upfront payment or protective conditions. High rating? You know you can trust them and build a lasting partnership.

Direct Contact: Build Relationships

With Premium, you get the direct contact of the person in charge. You can call for clarification before bidding, build a personal rapport, stand out from the crowd. This contract could be the first of many.

All Premium Features for Carriers

Here's the complete ecosystem Truckscanner Premium offers carriers:

✅ Priority visibility: Your profile appears prominently to shippers, increasing your chances of winning loads.

✅ WhatsApp Business notifications: Receive alerts and bid directly via WhatsApp without entering the platform.

✅ Private quote requests: Receive exclusive requests from your web showcase directly on WhatsApp.

✅ Watermark-free web showcase: Indexed on Google, perfect for being found by new clients.

✅ Shipper rating and budget: Assess reliability and margins before bidding.

✅ Direct contact with decision-maker: Call for clarification and build relationships.

✅ Dock Reservation: Book loading/unloading slots and eliminate yard waiting time.

✅ Profitability statistics: Understand which clients and routes earn you the most.

✅ Verified digital documents: Our team validates every attachment to speed up negotiations.

Pricing and Why It Pays Off Immediately

Basic registration on Truckscanner is and will remain free forever. You can see loads and bid without paying anything.

For those who want the maximum, Truckscanner Premium for carriers starts at €49.90/month, with pricing tiers based on company size (micro, small, medium, large, enterprise). Choose the annual plan and save up to 20%. Zero commission on jobs you win.

Let's Do the Maths

If Premium helps you win just one extra contract per month, the investment is paid off. If you save 10 hours monthly in waiting time thanks to Dock Reservation, the value is immense. If you receive even 2-3 private requests from your showcase, you've gained clients you'd never have found otherwise.

Premium costs less than one tank of diesel per month. And the return is measurable: more contracts, better margins, less wasted time, new clients.

Worth It Even for Owner-Operators

Only have one truck? That's precisely why you have less room for waste and inefficiency. You can't afford to throw away hours waiting. You can't afford to lose loads because you can't meet timings. Truckscanner Premium gives you the same level of organisation as large fleets.

An International Platform

Truckscanner is available in Italian and English, with more languages coming. If you do international transport, you access European shippers. Your showcase is visible across borders. The network grows daily.

Time to Work Smarter

The transport sector is changing. Those adopting digital tools today will have an advantage tomorrow. It's not about replacing phone calls with an app, but integrating technology into how you already work: WhatsApp you already use, but with superpowers; a website working for you while you drive; data helping you make better decisions.

If you want the maximum, if you want to grow, if you want to work better with less effort, Premium is the investment that pays for itself.
