Loadlink Connect supports two main user roles: Shippers and Carriers. Each role provides access to different features, and users can operate as either or both roles using a single account.

This article outlines what each role can do and how access works.

Shipper #

Shippers are users who post freight jobs and receive quotes from verified Carriers.

Permissions:

• Post and manage load listings
• View active and past loads in the dashboard
• Receive quotes and direct contact from Carriers
• Update account and notification settings

Shipper access is free and does not require a subscription.

Carrier #

Carriers are transport providers who view listed loads and respond with quotes.

Permissions:

• Browse available loads
• Contact Shippers directly
• Submit quotes for active listings
• Manage company details and service areas

Free Carrier accounts have limited access to load listings. To unlock full access, Carriers can upgrade to a Premium subscription.

Premium Carrier benefits:

• View unlimited loads
• Access all Shipper contact details
• Use enhanced filtering tools

Using Both Roles #

One Loadlink Connect account can be used as both a Shipper and a Carrier. There is no need to register twice.

To access both:

• Register as either a Shipper or Carrier
• Use the same account to post loads or quote on jobs
• Upgrade to Premium if more Carrier access is required
