How It Works

Post a Lorry Route in One Sentence: How Backhaul Connect's Bot Works

No long form to fill in. Describe your lorry route, capacity and date the way you would tell a colleague, and the bot extracts the details for you to check.

Published 15 August 2026

Posting a lorry route on Backhaul Connect does not require filling in a multi-field form. You can describe it the way you would tell a colleague.

How the natural-language posting works

Tell the bot your lorry's route, capacity and date in one sentence — for example, heading from Ipoh to Penang next Tuesday with a few tonnes free. The bot reads that sentence and extracts the structured details: route, capacity and date.

You still review before anything is posted

Because the details come from a free-text sentence, the bot shows you what it understood before publishing anything. If it has misread the date or the capacity, you correct it at that point — nothing goes live until you confirm.

Why this matters for busy transporters

The point of this is to remove friction between "I have space on this return leg" and actually posting it. A long form is one more reason to put it off until later, and later often means the lorry has already left empty.

Get started

Message the bot in your own words — it is built to work with how you would naturally describe the trip.
