The answer is simple - carefully choose a specialized transport exchange for yourself, paying attention to how the search is built, how many participants exchange ads and what is the technical frequency of updating the data on the exchange.

   The principle of the exchange is simple: representatives of transport companies are registered on the exchange, they leave announcements about the availability or search of free transport or cargo, and also use the filter to select suitable goods and transport. For example, in the system of TransBank more than 6000 companies-participants of information exchange are registered, this opens up scope for any logistics and forwarding companies in Russia and the CIS countries to find partners in cargo transportation. At the same time, it does not matter in which city and in which country the company is located - 56 countries are represented on the exchange, which will allow to find cargo and transport from any city in any direction.

Therefore, the use of the exchange is especially advantageous for small companies that do not have special employees involved in the selection of transport and cargo among partner companies. To find free goods and transport is a free service, suitable for most beginner long-distance carriers.

   Large logistic and forwarding companies can reduce the cost of salaries for a whole staff of logistics specialists to work with other cargo carriers.
