Hi

To be honest this isn’t really my area but I am from the UK and hav been looking around a little as an owner operator and I think http://www.haulageexchange.co.uk or http://www.freighttomail.co.uk might be right for you? They seem to do freight company contracts but as I say – I’m just a humble owner operator… happy to shift some freight for you if you need though mate

Depends on what you're looking to get out of them, are you looking to post loads, or are you looking for freight to carry? will these loads be UK only or exports to/from UK?

Of the 2 mentioned, I would personally steer clear of haulage exchange, it is just an extension of courierexchange, aimed at small van drivers and the like, very few loads for artics, and those posted tend to be bottom of the barrell in terms of rates ( though that's true of most freight exchanges), If I were you, I'd have a look at teleroute, it's the oldest and probably still the pick of the bunch, other than that have a look at truckspace.co.uk or freighttender.com (at least it's free!).
