The Registration Process

Step 1

Look in the shaded box that has the heading “I Represent”, below that you will see two radio buttons with questions next to them.

1. A company looking to find transport to move my goods.
2. A transport company wanting to obtain more work.

Click on whichever button applies to your company. You will now see three tick boxes that ask you what type of freight your company is involved with. You can tick as many as apply to your company. It is important that you provide this information as it affects the registration process.

Then click the button.

Step 2

New Customer ID

Click in the box named "New Customer ID", then type a name or word that you will remember when coming back onto the site. This, as well as the password must be made up of at least 8 characters.

Password

Type in a password with a minimum of 8 characters that you will remember in the box provided, then move to the “Confirm Password” box and type it in again. Be careful to make sure that you type it accurately. If there are any differences between these two boxes it will not be accepted.

Next you will see a tick box labelled "Log me in automatically when I return". We recommend for ease of use that you leave this ticked if the computer you are using is not a shared computer. Untick this box if you want to enter your user ID and password to log to on the site every time you come back to it (this is the best option if you are not the only person who has access to the computer).

Title

To fill out your title click the arrow next to the box which will then display a drop down list, then use the mouse to select the appropriate title.

Fill in your contact details. All items marked with a red star are compulsory and so therefore must be filled in for you to get any further in the registration process.

Preferred Currency

Select the currency from the drop down list that you want the site to convert all other currencies into. You will still see the original currency that someone has quoted you in or listed an advert in. Along side this you will see a converted price into your preferred currency. Your preferred currency is always displayed in green on the site. This is entered in the registration process but can be changed using your management page should your needs alter in the future.

E-mail Address

Please enter your e-mail address here, and then enter it again in the box underneath. Please ensure that it is correct on both occasions otherwise you will get no further in the registration process.

1. Select the country you operate from in the drop down list marked "1. Country"
2. Enter your post code or zip code in the appropriate box.
3. Enter your town or city.
4. Fill in your county or region.

Fill in your street, building name and number.

If the address you have filled in is just your offices and not your warehouse or if you dispatch or receive your goods from another location tick the box at the bottom of the page. This will bring up another address box the same as the one you have filled in. Then enter as you have before, your details, but now providing the details of your warehouse. Please note that the site will automatically fill these details out on your adverts in future, saving you time, so make sure that it is correct.

Note 2: Reading and entering your postcode

When you look at your postcode you will see a space in the middle. There are two letters and either one or two numbers to the left hand side of the space, type this in the first box. There is one number and two letters to the right hand side of the space, enter these in the second box provided.

What to do if a postcode error appears

If you have entered your postcode and a box appears telling you that "a database search has returned no match for the postcode you entered" we recommend that you check your postcode to make sure that it is correct. If in the unlikely event that your postcode is correct and cannot be entered please contact us at support@freighttender.com

Fill in your street, building name and number.

After you have filled in all of the above information click on the button.

Step 3

The times you are open for loading and unloading will be displayed on all of your adverts. This will help transport companies who have lorries available in your area at certain times. If they are aware of this information beforehand, it should help them give a competitively priced quote. It is important that the information provided is correct, as it could affect the prices of the quotes you obtain. Please see the next section to see how to fill out this information.

Do you want to be e-mailed when new bids are placed?

Tick the box if you want to be e-mailed about new bids placed for your adverts. We recommend that you leave this option ticked as it will keep you up to date with everything and will ensure that you do not miss any bids.

Enter your main business activities

Please enter here if you are a manufacturer, distributor, importer etc. Also enter your companies main activities e.g. plastic injection moulder, electronics manufacturer, clothes retailer etc.
