From Interest to Delivery: How a Backhaul Connect Match Actually Works

Once a transporter has posted a route and a shipper expresses interest, there is a defined sequence of steps before a load actually moves — nothing is automatic at any stage.

The flow, step by step

First, the transporter reviews the new interest — the load details, route fit and timing. Second, if it suits them, the transporter accepts. Third, once both sides have accepted, contact details are shared and the transporter and shipper coordinate directly. Fourth, the transporter delivers the load. Fifth, the transporter requests confirmation from the shipper that the delivery is complete.

Why confirmation closes the loop

The shipper confirming delivery is what marks the match as complete on the platform. This keeps a clear record of which posted routes actually resulted in a completed job, rather than leaving that ambiguous.

Where each side keeps control

The transporter is never forced to accept an interest they don't want. The shipper is never forced to confirm a delivery that did not happen as agreed. The lifecycle gives both sides a checkpoint at every stage.

In short

Review → accept → contact after match → deliver → confirm. That is the full path from a posted route to a completed backhaul.
