Dear TruckIt Providers,
As part of our ongoing mission to help you grow your own business, we are excited to announce some new platform developments. You can read more below about the trial of one of our most requested features.
We have also added a new payment option allowing customers to pay via bank transfer using PayID. By giving customers more choice, and minimising the limitations of credit cards, we hope to see flow on benefits for you also.
In terms of how you get paid for a job, we are phasing out off-platform payments or 'booking deposits' and requesting that all Providers start using TruckIt Pay. TruckIt's reputation relies on safety and security for all users, which TruckIt Pay helps build. It also provides you a simple and easy to use invoicing and payments process. TruckIt Pay creates a better user experience and higher conversion rate whilst ensuring you get paid.
We love hearing your stories and feedback so don't be afraid to get in touch via support@truckit.net
Regards,
Robert Russell
Founder - TruckIt.net
After listening to feedback from our transport Providers, Truckit has developed and is now trialling 'Hidden Quotes' on the Shipping Containers category, with the possibility of expanding to other categories.
A Hidden Quote will hide the quote value and quote details (like terms, dates etc.) from all other Providers, only being visible to the Customer and the Provider who placed the quote.
We would love to hear your feedback on Hidden Quotes.
TruckIt has added bank transfer via PayID as a payment option for customers. Customers can select this option when in the checkout page accepting a quote.
In most cases the bank transfer clears within minutes and the booking is then confirmed.
By giving more choice to customers we hope to see booking rates increase even further.
In terms of getting paid for your jobs, with off-platform payments and booking deposits being phased out, we are asking that all Providers sign up for TruckIt Pay, if you have not already.
Online marketplaces like TruckIt rely on trust betweem both sides. There is no better way to build trust than by putting a face to a name. Adding a photo is a proven way of increasing your conversion rate, you can even add multiple photos to show off interesting loads you have moved in the past.

Key Takeaways Pallets might not be flashy, but they’re the backbone of freight and logistics. Whether you’re sending one item or a full truckload, chances are a pallet is doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. But here’s the thing – not all pallets are the same. Pallet size, weight, and capacity can seriously impact how efficiently your goods are moved and how much it’s all going to cost. That’s why getting familiar with pallet dimensions isn’t just for warehouse professionals – it’s something every business (big or small) should know. A poor fit can mean wasted space, damaged goods, […]
Key Takeaways From January 2025, Australia will introduce mandatory climate reporting laws – a major shift aligning business operations with national climate goals and international frameworks like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. It’s part of a growing global push for accountability as governments and industries set clearer expectations on how companies disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. For the transport and logistics sector, the impact is especially significant. With transport emissions making up a large portion of Australia’s carbon footprint, freight businesses will soon be required to track, measure and report their emissions across the supply chain – from fuel use […]
