Our platform
15,000 daily loads. And the best tech in the business.
Here’s what you can do with Courier Exchange…
Find outbound loads
There are more than 15,000 courier loads posted to CX every day. No other UK platform has so many loads available.
With CX, self-employed couriers can search live maps to find loads in the nearby area. Which means, as a self-employed courier, you always have access to a steady stream of loads to deliver… so you can make your own money and grow your own business.
Find return loads
With the CX app, you have access to loads all over the country. That means, once you’ve delivered a load, you don’t need to drive back empty.
Instead, open the CX app and find a load that needs to be delivered on your way home.
That way, you make money on the way out… and on the way back.
Win more work
The courier industry is competitive. Getting your pricing right is crucial – especially if you’re new.
CX can show you average prices per mile for vans like yours going to and from certain locations, and the data is updated weekly.
That means, with CX, you can quote strategically to win more work… even if you’re new to the courier business.
Let the loads find you
With CX, you can find your own loads. But you don’t even need to do that.
There are more than 15,000 loads posted to CX every day. And 44.7% of those go unsold… which means CX shippers are always looking for drivers.
With CX, you can let shippers know when you’re empty. Simply set your status to ‘available’ in the CX app. Then sit back and wait for shippers to contact you.

As an owner driver, your capacity is limited. So when you’re offered two jobs at once, you usually have to turn work down.
With CX, though, you can book subcontractors. So you can accept both jobs and partner with other CX members to make sure both loads are delivered.
That means, with CX, you don’t just get loads. You get a platform to help you grow your courier business.
Work with some of the UK’s biggest shippers
Shippers need to trust you. If you’re new, that can be a problem.
When you join CX, though, you also get Trustd. Trustd is cutting-edge tech that demonstrates your compliance and professionalism.
That means shippers know they can trust you. Which means you can work with some of the UK’s biggest shippers – even when you’re new.
Manage finances
It can be hard for owner drivers to keep track of payments.
CX lets you send shippers digital invoices. And it automatically shows you:
– when your invoices have been approved
– when your invoices have been paid
– when your invoices are outstanding
With CX, you can check you’ve been paid in seconds – and do something about it when you haven’t.
Expand your network
With CX, you’re part of a community of more than 10,000 insiders.
And, thanks to the CX Directory, you can contact other members in your area. To partner up. For everyone’s gain.
With CX, life as a courier isn’t such a struggle – because shippers in your area want to work with you.
