How to post a truck on Amazon Relay
With Post A Truck, you don’t have to watch the load board 24/7. Just share when and where your company’s trucks, trailers, and drivers are available for a chance to be matched to spot work.
Criteria can include:
- Origin
- Destination
- Availability
- Start and end times
- Maximum stops
- Stem time
- Payout
Posting a truck gives you first mover advantage. We look to match loads with Post A Truck orders before loads become available on Relay’s load board. Once a spot work order is created, it stays open until it’s matched or the order expires. You can also cancel an order if your availability changes.
